Witty and wise Newsom spokesman Nathe Ballard made a choice decision today: he quit Newsom's (sinking?) ship. To the press release:

Say what you will about San Francisco Gavin Newsom, the real star of the show is his press secretary Nathan Ballard. When Newsom ends his reign as mayor, Ballard is the one we're going to miss. Why?
