Newsom, who propelled the debate over gay marriage but struggled to find a popular message outside the San Francisco Bay area, has dropped his bid for California governor. A statement issued Friday by his campaign said he was unable to devote the time needed to run an effective campaign, citing 'a young family and responsibilities at City Hall.' (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma, file)AP - Unable to move beyond his ultra-liberal image and far behind his rival in fundraising, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom dropped his bid to become governor, leaving former governor Jerry Brown as the only Democrat in the race to succeed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger next year.
