The happy couple.

Actress and future San Francisco first lady Jennifer Siebel has moved a step closer to the altar, having taken up full-time residence in fiance Mayor Gavin Newsom's Russian Hill penthouse, where she is now registered to vote.
It turns out, however, that the onetime Republican registered as a member of the American Independent Party - the anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, anti-NAFTA and anti-tax party.
San Francisco's election rolls show Siebel cast her ballot using the Green Street address both in November, when Newsom was re-elected, and during February's presidential primary. But because she was affiliated with the American Independent Party, she was ineligible to vote for any of the Democratic or Republican presidential contenders, including Newsom's pick, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The mayor's office tells us Siebel is actually an independent voter - "decline to state," in registration lingo - and checked the American Independent box thinking that was what independent voters were supposed to do.
She has since changed her affiliation to "decline to state," mayoral spokesman Nathan Ballard said.
It appears Siebel is far from the only voter to mistake the American Independents for independents.
According to Contra Costa County Registrar Stephen Weir, president of the state association of county election officials, 2 percent of California voters identify themselves as member of the American Independent Party. That's a lot more than other minor parties, including the Greens (0.77 percent); Libertarians (0.5 percent) and Peace and Freedom (0.35 percent.)
Nearly 20 percent of California's voters, in contrast, are registered as decline to state.

The happy couple.
He don’t look right. Are we talking beard here?
Nah, he’s very straight - a JFK type. Too much hair gel to pass muster in Alabama, maybe, but he ain’t playing for the other team. ;)
Pejorative alert! How about the pro-law, pro-life, pro-economy, pro-liberty party?
Damn straight, oh wait Newsome.... never mind

What an insipid, bland, blah looking man. I thought he was supposed to be “all that” Yuck!
You’re letting his politics get in the way.
Let me try to play with the boys here for a moment. If he weren’t of a fecal political orientation, I’d hit it and hit it and hit it and then hit it some more till I’d exhausted myself.
Newsom's ex---Kimberly Guilfoyle. Anchor of The Lineup, on Fox News Channel.
The Democrats once had (and perhaps still have) Obama-like plans for Newsom for just that reason. ;)
Far be it from us to impede their ability to dream.
Handsome is as handsome does. He looks insipid. He looks unimaginative. yuck.
