    It hardly matters, Newsom is a democrat, Feinstein was a democrat, Padilla is a Democrat, California has about as much chance of electing a non-Democrat to her Senate seat as it does of seceding from the union. I have mixed feelings about Newsom but whoever he picks is gonna be pretty similar to whoever was gonna win anyway.

      The real question is whether he picks someone that was already running for the seat. Very competitive race between Schiff, Porter, and Lee. If he selected one of those, would give them a huge leg up.
