Mayor Gavin Newsom you are put on notice - you and the Pacific Heights Mafia. San Francisco is the most RACIST City - folks laugh and smile and stab you in the back.

What’s the Matter With California? Wednesday, February 6, 2008 : Last night, Barack Obama accomplished what no insurgent presidential candidate has ever done: survive Super Tuesday. The Illinois Senator did so by amassing a broad coalition of blacks, liberals and red-state Democrats – paying off dividends across the country except in California. Hillary Clinton’s double-digit win here exceeded expectations, and such baffling returns will keep progressives guessing for days what went wrong in the Golden State....
