san francisco is populated by assholes

He looks like such a fratboy... and his rhetoric makes me puke.

I know dozens of fratboys...and none of them look like that. And Olivia, do you honestly think a higher turnout would have favored a Green Party candidate? I don't...but i don't live there and don't plan on it any time soon.

"san francisco is populated by assholes"
i would think this is the perfect place for this... what the hell am i talking about? i need a nap.

meh - most of the cool people moved away anyhow. Still, no one deserves a prat like Gavin Newsom

I know it sucks... but the margin was close enough to actually give a Californian some hope....
(I watched the results thorough a scroll bar under Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer)

Perhaps you could recall him.....

San Francisco cracks me up. It gives $400 cash to any homeless person to spend anyway they want, and then they wonder why the homeless population keeps rising

Wow, I should move to SF and get one of these high-paying homeless gigs.

Low turnout due to rain?

"I really want to excercise my right to elect a person who could shape our future for the better, a privilege which was fought for over a hundred years by revolutionary thinkers who were persecuted for their ideas, but my hair might get a little frizzy."

Oh the irony the green candidate undone by the environment coupled with peoples complacency about politics. My condolences to those of you in San Fran, granted I know nothing of whom you did elected but I'm on priniciple in favour of Greens holding office.

Interesting numbers...only 3% of SFs registered voters are Green, while Matt Gonzalez received 47% of the vote. A phyrric victory for Newsom?

first off, its not $400. second, even $400 doesn't get you a place to stay if you can't fit or don't qualify somehow for the section8 housing. third, if $400 a month is enough for you to choose to go homeless.. shut up and try it.

Care Not Cash may not be a horrible idea, the problem is, it was written by a horrible man who cares like Mr. Bush cares.

actually, it's a great idea in my opinion. everyone should have to vote or pay a fine...or perhaps community service.

Personally I'd prefer it if you had to wear those "I voted" stickers year round. Then when people who didn't vote complain, people who did could stamp their foreheads with bright red "Shut the fuck up." stamps.

But what aboot us non-americans s5?

Yup, I'm out of my element in this one. But, yeah, fuck san fran......man, peer pressure is a bitch...

Is there hope for the Green party? I guess that's why I'm holding out for a socialist revolution.

Call me insane and impractical...I sometimes think I'm a European born in the body of an American.


siiiiigggggggggggggghhhhh

Don't get me started on mandatory voting

Unfortunately, I live soulth of SF, and can't vote there.

Another victory for the downtown interests.

SF appears liberal, but it's really run by and for downtown real estate investors.
