    Which Way, L.A.?

    Gubernatorial Candidate Gavin Newsom

    Given what's happening — or failing to happen — in Sacramento, why does anyone want to be Governor? We ask San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Also, another legislative session in Sacramento is winding down. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, last night's address to Congress was called a "make or break" moment for the presidency of Barack Obama, but it’s one part of an ongoing process.

    Sacramento is wallowing in dysfunction. We ask San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom what he might do about that, in the first of a series of interviews with Californians who want to be governor. Also, despite major unfinished business, another legislative session in Sacramento is winding down. On our rebroadcast of today’s To the Point, last night’s address to Congress was called a “make or break” moment for the presidency of Barack Obama, but it's one part of an ongoing process. We look at the speech, the immediate reaction and what might happen next.
