B.J.,
This polls isn't really that great an indicator of where the
candidates stand, but my prediction is that Matt Gonzalez *WILL* be the
next mayor of San Francisco. Susan Leal isn't his strongest competitor;
Gavin Newsom is. But despite being a Green in a Democratic town,
Gonzalez has already risen to President of the Board of Supervisors,
and he seems to be a very honest and decent guy despite his left-wing
views. I think the more people have gotten to know him, the more they
tend to like him, and despite his late entry into the race, he appears
to be pulling ahead of the other two far-left candidates (Ammiano and
Alioto). He's generating a lot of excitement among young idealistic
voters on the left.
Newsom, a moderate, has by far the highest polling numbers, but unless
he can eke out an unlikely first-vote majority, he'll be in a runoff
with someone (my guess is Gonzalez). In such a scenario most of the
supporters of the other left-wing candidates, who appear to be the next
strongest in the field, will likely unite behind Gonzalez to give him
the final victory. Although City Treasurer Leal is more of a moderate
and this might help Newsom pick up some of her votes in a runoff, the
fact that she is Hispanic will probably also lead a significant number
of her supporters to turn to Gonzalez. Newsom of course would get most
of Tony Ribera's Republican voters in a run-off with Gonzalez, but
after eight years of Willie Brown, I suspect that as "heir apparent" he
will ultimately be too tough a sell for most of the electorate to pull
off a victory.
Anyway, the paragraphs above are of course typical of the B.S. media
coverage I've often complained about myself in which all angles are
discussed except the issues and what the candidates and their parties
actually stand for! The important thing is to support the party and
candidate who are most pro-freedom no matter what the pundits say, and
in this race that would be the LP and its candidate Mike Denny. Thanks
for your vote.

P.S. - SF Libertarians can likewise help our SoCal freedom-fighter
comrades out by going to http://www.kcoy.com and voting "YES" on the
question "Do you take the current RECALL of Santa Maria, City Council
seriously?" Scroll down a little and look on the left side and you will
see the question on the left margin, according to B.J.
Okay,
I cast a vote for Denny\. He sure does need help\. Lookslike socialist Green Gonzales
and a Democrat are running away with the poll. Do you think that is
reflective of how the vote will really go?bj
