Would you want Gavin Newsom to date your daughter or friend?
Would you socialize with someone who sleeps with a friend's wife?
Would you employ someone who can't plan a Halloween party in 364 days?
Would you vote for a candidate who refuses to debate his opponents?
I certainly wouldn't!
Does Delancey Street have an "outpatient" program? NO!
When Newsom admitted his substance problem, he disclosed that he would get "counseling" from Mimi Silbert (President of Delancey Street Foundation). The problem is that Delancey Street does not offer drop-in or outpatient counseling.
When John Burton was strung out on drugs and alcohol, he quit congress.
Gavin Newsom should have taken a hint from John Burton and resigned as Mayor.
Newsom's fling with his friend's wife was also a fling with an employee of the City.
How much is that going to cost the Taxpayers?
We know the Mayor is alleged to have paid the wronged husband,
But how much was paid to the Consort?
Is this the kind of judgment we want in a Chief Executive?
Cancelled Halloween cost
Lost wages, tips and income in the Castro!
Wages and overtime for 1000 police officers.
Another term as mayor is too much to pay.
The Halloween in the Castro is a tradition for over 30 years.
Calling it off for a questionable leader's re-election was an abuse of power.
If you think that we need a change,
Don't vote for an Adulterous, Drunken Golden Boy!
Don't chose corruption and waste!
A vote for Harold Hoogasian will clean up City Hall!
A vote for Harold Hoogasian will clean up our streets!
A vote for Harold Hoogasian will fix our Muni!
A vote for Harold Hoogasian will eliminate our Budget Mess!
A vote for Harold Hoogasian will bring back Halloween!

Lovely, eh? Multiple colors to pick out names and phrases like "Adulterous, Drunken Golden Boy!" (in red, natch!), CAPS, bold lettering and different sized fonts.
Looks kookie and crankpot-ish.
If I were a suspicious sort, I'd think that someone who doesn't want Hoogasian for Mayor sent out this spam in an attempt to make him look like a foolish idiot. I hadn't realized he could act like such a juvenile.
Love those politics!
And if his database were any good, he'd know I voted ten days ago.

Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
