Thank you for a summary of the last half century of Bay politics. The foundational stuff is always good to understand. As for Gov. Newsom, one has to assume he's been making calculations for a long time now and that's why he's put himself on the edge of the current political spotlight, a safe move. He may surprise all by appointing someone totally unexpected. I hope he does because the system needs some shocking. Or at least a substantial pummeling.

RIP, D.F.

He has said that if he had to make an appointment, it would not be one of those campaigning in the election. Likely a "placeholder." Some thought he would call a special election but it's unlikely. Appointing himself also unlikely.
