Clinton will campaign with Gavin Newsom next week.

(CNN) - Former President Bill Clinton will visit Los Angeles next week in support of Democratic gubernatorial candidate and current San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom.

Newsom and Clinton are scheduled to hold an event at L.A. City College on Monday, October 5. Later that day, WJC will attend a fundraiser for Newsom's primary gubernatorial bid.

Newsom aggressively campaigned for now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her unsuccessful campaign to capture the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2008.

Newsom and Clinton plan to tour a new LEED-certified Science and Technology Building at the LACC and speak to faculty and students about green technology jobs and education.

KEEP OUT Clinton, just because you owe him a favor you would be willing to destroy California? Newsom is the absolute worst choice for Governor. We don't want California to become like San Francisco.

Good. Two great men together.

rachel   September 29th, 2009 10:05 am ET

Didnt you report this already CNN?

TCM   September 29th, 2009 9:57 am ET

Clinton's a disgrace to this country and the American way of life; he needs to simply go away....

PJP   September 29th, 2009 9:51 am ET

Clinton, just go away, PLEASE JUST GO AWAY and take Obama with you!!!!

Obama fan...not!   September 29th, 2009 9:50 am ET

Hmmmm....changing position on gay marriage.....campaigning with Newscum....What happened to "Centrist Bill".....he's morphed back into "Lefty Bill"!

Monrob   September 29th, 2009 9:50 am ET

I wish Hillary was President.

Eddy   September 29th, 2009 9:41 am ET

Well, it is payback time for the Clintons

ted   September 29th, 2009 9:40 am ET

Anytime the comments dont go the way CNN thinks they should the comment section is closed. CNN is getting to be such a joke.

carole   September 29th, 2009 9:39 am ET

I hope Newsom wins....he has been ahead of time on alot of issues.

TRUTH   September 29th, 2009 9:38 am ET

thank you Bill for trying to rid this large state from this orgy, groping,no politial expertise govenor

GIFTTY   September 29th, 2009 9:38 am ET

Bill pls don't.

John, Brooklyn, New York   September 29th, 2009 9:37 am ET

It would be better if Clinton were campaigning for the repeal of Prop 8, considering his recent repenting for his past hostility toward gay people.

Mike   September 29th, 2009 9:31 am ET

Another person he endorses will lose. I guess it is that vast right wing conspiracy. Something similar to cigar gate in the oval office.

Dave in Ohio   September 29th, 2009 9:24 am ET

So this is the reason Clinton recently changed his mind on same-sex marriage. I'm sure doing this with his former stance on same-sex marriage wouldn't of worked.
Why do these politicians think we don't see this stuff. It's all fake.

Dave - Independent   September 29th, 2009 9:20 am ET

I guess Bill feels President Obama has the whole health care reform issue in hand. The Clintons would love to see Obama fail to achieve what the couldn't. Sorry for your luck you nutty liberals.

Bill, Bloominton IL   September 29th, 2009 9:18 am ET

and if Newsom doesnt win, it will be another right wing conspiracy

Dominican mama 4 Obama   September 29th, 2009 9:17 am ET

That's nice.

Meanwhile, ka-ching ka-ching Pailin's book is coming out soon. Just in time for her to cash in on Christmas sales. The title should've been : "Gone in 30 seconds- The Diva from Wassilla".

Amazing   September 29th, 2009 9:16 am ET

Stay out of California!! We don't want Clinton shoving the worst possible candidate for governor down our throats. Newsom is a horrible choice.

Bryan   September 29th, 2009 9:08 am ET

Lemme guess... Clinton's thinking of running for president again...

Bryan   September 29th, 2009 9:06 am ET

Of course this is all to forward his vast, liberal, elitest, left-wing conspiracy against the vast conservative conspiracy. His recent comments make him as much a loon as Carter...

James From Chicago   September 29th, 2009 9:00 am ET

He is still one of the most important men in the country.

Paul from Phoenix   September 29th, 2009 8:49 am ET

Ahhhh, so that is why he is in favor of gay marriage now, to help Newsom in the CA race.

This is the most calculating politician ever.

Dutch/Bad Newz, VA   September 29th, 2009 8:47 am ET

I like newsom but I think L.A.'s mayor is better suited for the job. As long as Fiorina and Whitman don't win.

JES   September 29th, 2009 8:46 am ET

Why don't you just go away and live with your buddy Jimmy Carter the two of you are alike.

sifto77   September 29th, 2009 8:45 am ET

Careful to watch out for that "vast right-wing conspiracy", Mr Clinton. His comment is a joke considering Democrats are claiming they won the election by a landslide. Getting a little desperate, are they?

Kevin in Ohio   September 29th, 2009 8:37 am ET

Newsom is a DANGEROUS man. Emblematic of the future radical left-wing changes that will sweep America if we don't wake up NOW.

southerncousin   September 29th, 2009 8:36 am ET

Bill is the perfect caricature of a Californian, nutsy, and is also used to thumbing his nose at the law, so is it any wonder that he would campaign with a man who continually violates the law?

stormerF   September 29th, 2009 8:33 am ET

Newsom,is the Mayor who was spending Tax Payers money to send Illegals back to their country or Orgin,after they were caught commiting crimes here,instead of trying them in court and sending them to jail.

Alex   September 29th, 2009 8:27 am ET

As a California resident, I'd vote for the Devil before I'd ever vote for Gavin Newsom. That guy makes most liberals look like ultra conservatives and is probably the most dangerous person I've ever seen hold office in California. Compared to Nancy Pelosi, he makes her look like an Angel.
