"Newsom is best known nationally for openly defying California state law in
2004 by directing clerks at City Hall to sanction same-sex unions. According to
the Chronicle, Newsom's flaunting of the law made him a pariah within the
Democratic Party. Some observers credit President Bush's re-election and the
passage of constitutional amendments banning gay marriage in 11 states that same
year on a backlash triggered by Newsom's lawlessness. Why would Hillary seek the
support of a Democratic pariah?"
I don't think that Newsom is going to have that much of an effect as far as changing peoples minds about Hilary. Those who hate her, have just been given one more reason to hate her. While those that love her are given one more reason to love her. Newsom has a lot of political baggage, and isn't in my opinion the best endorsement one can get.
