Now Two Months at a Time

As blog readers will know, we like to keep track of Gov. Newsom and have been collecting videos on his doings, and related matters, on a quarterly basis. But lately, his seeming campaign for president has become so intense - with soundbites from interviews, podcasts, etc. - that we have gone to a bimonthly basis.

Lots of statements, some controversial, some promotional, but not much about UC. He will occasionally say things such as California has the best public higher ed system. But it is what it is.

California will vote for the Democrat regardless of who the nominee is, barring some very unlikely circumstance.
