Eric Jaye, Mayor Gavin Newsom's campaign manager, quit Newsom's gubernatorial campaign today. Why? Who knows why, exactly. Jaye, who has seen Newsom through Care Not Cash to "whether you like it or not" to battles with sweet Peruvian flake, "has been pushing a campaign strategy that would keep Newsom in the public's eye with media events on everything from green energy to food policy," report Matier & Ross. But Newsom's new strategist, Garry South, former adviser to failed Gov. Gray Davis, M&R go on to say, "has been advocating a more traditional approach that would depend on Newsom working the phones and raising money."
What's more, and this is just delicious speculation from savvy media players, Gavin might have had Jaye "resign" after two recent awful Chron stories basically exposed Newsom as a fibber.

Mock all you want, but you'll be lining up like obedient lemmings once the Gavster is your nominated Democratic Candidate for Guv.
What a horrible day that will be, if it happens.
yes, disgusting. i'd almost rather vote for meg. almost, but i guess that's what they're counting on: two equally distasteful candidates.
Yeah, because Gavin could be so much worse than Arnie. ^rolls eyes^
And to the person/people who might vote for Meg over Gavin, seriously look in to their records, they may both be distasteful but as much of a douche as Gavin is, he's not batsh-t crazy like Meg is.
Brock, did you read the articles who exposed Newsom as an exaggerator? Because the case they make is pretty weak. They went on a fishing expedition, and came up empty. Of course Ammiano was going to say that his baby (Healthy SF) is his. And the: "we can't check the numbers on SF's global warming emissions, so we're just going to say Newsom is lying" is quite transparent.
The article was crap, and that's a damn shame because it doesn't matter if Newsom is "lying" - it matters if he's playing magician.
His PR machine is really trying to get out the message that Gavin is the charsimatic version of Al Gore - Mr Green Jeans himself. Things like putting 2 electric plugs to charge cars and growing some veggies in City Hall Plaza. Meanwhile he's been very bad for MUNI - which is pretty much the most important "green" function in San Francisco. Work orders, the configuration of the new budget, etc...
And don't get me started on the SFPD driving his armored SUV to Montana for his wedding, and back. Couldn't he take a chance with a rental, sourced locally? I mean, he's GAVIN NEWSOM, not John Kennedy.
Um, HealthySF was Tom's bill. Gavin did nothing to help get it passed. It was only when Sup. Dufty ensured a veto proof majority on the BoS, that he got on board. He contributed little, and is now saying it's his.
Sorry to burst your bubble on that one, kiddo!
i did. they were terrible.
The Getty's have convinced Newsom that he is JFK Jr. Hopefully he follows it to its logical conclusion and takes a couple of flying lessons then gets a Cessna. I'll throw in $100.
Anyone else want to chip in?
OK, your comment allowed me let out one of the most evil chuckles.
Does that mean the kitty is up to $200?
Aircraft rental: C172, Warrior ($90/hr) 70 hrs @ $90 hr..... $ 6,300
Total Instructor hours 80 hrs @ $50 hr .......................... $ 4,000
Misc. expenses* ......................................................... $ 1,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total ........................................................................ $11,300
Come on people, break open the piggy bank, hit the Coinstar machine, give til it hurts.
How much to rent the power-beam weaponry from the C.I.A.?
We don't need no steenking power-beams! We already know his kryptonite.
All we need is a ban on Crew Hair Pomade, Grey Goose, cocaine and starry-eyed MILF's and he'll go directly into the fetal position. It's like taking the catnip away from the kitties.
And people wonder why he was spending so much time with Villgarosa in LA. He was just getting pointers on how to be a viable candidate after screwing around and getting his snout on some fine Peruvian marching powder.
If I ever get my hands on Newsom, I am handcuffing him to a seat on the 14-Mission from 6am until midnight. He will ride it from tip to tail all day long to get a feel for what the average San Franciscan has to endure daily.
At that point, he might begin to understand what "civic duty" really means.
Then again, he's a spoiled little bitch, not all that bright and will wonder how anyone gets around SF these days without a police escort.
What a useless douchebag.
Good luck banning cocaine.
The cocaine jab was sarcasm. The rest was reality.
If you banned cocaine in SF, half of the nightclubs would close down immediately and most of the "treasure houses" with grandma furniture and faux artwork in the front rooms of Pac Heights and the Marina would be auctioned off within weeks.
I'll see your sarcasm and raise you.
Cocaine is already banned.
Problem: People have noticed that you're a lying piece of shit.
Solution: Fire your PR guy.
That's a Newsom-style solution -- never solve the problem, just cover it up.
