July 13 (Bloomberg) -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is running for re-election virtually unopposed, more popular than ever, after admitting to having an affair with a top aide's wife and entering an alcohol-treatment program. Newsom, whose approval ratings are running close to 80 percent, said he expects a credible candidate to emerge eventually. So far, challengers include a street-performing clown, a homeless man, an advocate for nudism, and a candidate who pledges to wear a camera so voters can monitor his performance in office.
I'm not sure why the article doesn't just say Gavin is running against "Jason Whiting". It's a bit repetitive the way their story reads now. Speaking of Gavin vs. Whiting, I am SURE Whiting was mistaken for Gavin at some point during his old SF days when he was out in his Lawyer suit. Each are like slightly pudgier versions of the other. It's uncanny.
