Bump and Update: Gavin Newsom won the Mayor's race in San Francisco. But Matt Gonzalez made a great showing, losing by only 5 points. See below for vote numbers as they came in:

With 100% of the vote in:

GAVIN NEWSOM . . . . . . . . . 118,651 52.57%
MATT GONZALEZ . . . . . . . . . 107,030 47.43%

Actually, Gonzalez did incredibly well considering that Newsom spent $4 million on the campaign, outspending Gonzalez by 10 to 1. And that Bill Clinton came to town yesterday to stump for Newsom.
