San Francisco Mayor's Endorsement of Hillary Clinton

The San Francisco Chronicle has an interesting quote from Chris Lehane on getting Gavin Newsom's endorsement :

"He's one of the most important public figures in Northern California," said Chris Lehane, a veteran Democratic operative and former Clinton White House spokesman. "He's someone who is extraordinarily well respected by some constituency groups that are an important part of the mosaic of the Democratic Party, and someone who has shown the capacity to raise significant amounts of money. Put all those things together and there's a reason why all the three (leading) Democratic candidates wanted to meet with him and sought his endorsement."

In certain circles, Gavin Newsom's endorsement is rather stylish.
