The 5 Best Big-City Mayors

Time magazine (in the Ann Coulter edition) is running a story on America’s “5 Best Big-City Mayors.”

California can boast of no representative making it on to the top-five list. However, San Francisco’s young mayor, Gavin Newsom, gets the honorable mention category. Why?

For facilitating the marriage of nearly 4,000 gay couples in his city last year, Gavin Newsom is famous countrywide — and controversial. But at home in San Francisco, the mayor is simply adored. It’s the main reason Newsom, 37, who barely squeaked into office in 2003, now enjoys an eye-popping 80% approval rating in America’s ultraliberal gay mecca. But it is by no means the only factor.

The praise continues, but one might think the the mayor’s own press office provided TIME with the story. It’s a fawning account of what Newsom has allegedly achieved. But for those living in San Francisco, who don’t consider themselves “ultraliberal,” his performance leaves them scratching their heads.

[...] A bill that would allow same-sex couples to marry won final passage on Tuesday in the California Assembly, marking the first time a state legislature in the United States has endorsed gay marriage. The California Supreme Court has ruled invalid same-sex marriage licenses issued in 2004 by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, which helped fuel a national debate over gay marriage.
