Short and sweet – and basically proclaims Solomon and Huffman the top two contenders.
And while I was there reading the endorsements, I noticed this announcement. What I’ve always appreciated about the SFBG is its fierce independence. Should I be worried?

I don’t think you have to be worried. This is probably the best possible outcome for the SFBG.

Be worried. This is the beginning of the end for the SFBG.

I hope you’re right Hank. But the SF Weekly went downhill very soon after they were bought out. I rarely even pick it up anymore when I’m in the Bay Area.

There’s little doubt that a Democrat will represent the overwhelmingly liberal area that was for almost three decades the province of Lynn Woolsey, one of the most progressive members in Congress.
That’s insulting! The vast majority of the district was represented by Thompson.
Typical urban chauvenism. Apparently the world ends at Petaluma.

Anybody but Huffman!

Fred – Solomon is well to the left of Huffman. Much more “socialist.” Just so you know. In fact, probably three quarters of the candidates are to his left, and maybe even one of the Republicans.
Arguably, they are all more genuine.

Hank, your response is understandable considering your employment and natural concern over the dwindling number of paychecks being issued in the business, but I think most people are thinking about the future of the paper’s actual content.

Yep, thus much less likely to have enough power to cause any harm.

Eric, I’m posting this message here
even though it’s off-topic – or is it really? Anyway, apologies
offered.
On several occasions in the past you
told me you didn’t understand or know what I was talking about.
Despite the fact that you never, at least I don’t remember, you ever
asking any pertinent questions. Consequently, I rejected your actions
as a simple dodge. That, since, it is easy enough to see that you are
not held captive by your beliefs, well for the most part, that is.
I found, when listening to Democracy
Now this morning, the simple solution to what you say intellectually
challenges you. Here is the link: “No Work, No Shopping,Occupy Everywhere”: May Day Special on OWS, Immigration, LaborProtests. Pay attention to what Chris Hedges and Amin Husain
says. While they contend the so-called “movement” really got its
start ten years ago, I know from personal experience the movement got
its start 40 years ago and is just now beginning to bear fruit. It is gratifying to see that some people in this country are finally getting it right.
