And it's a Run-off!

This means it'll be our third election in three months. And not only will it be for the Mayoral race (it is between the Wannabe Philosopher King vs. the Rich Prince) but one for DA too (only in SF is the lowest conviction rate in the state seen as a good thing). I know, I know, you're all jealous.

While I don't think the run-off thing is a bad idea, it makes the election kind of weird. Basically, how it works is that the normal election is like the NBA regular season and then run-offs are the playoffs. All we basically did was eliminate all the other losers before we can get to the excitement. And like the NBA season, it seems to go on and on and on until you get to the point where it's San Antonio vs. New Jersey and nobody cares anymore.

All of which means one more month of mail-boxes stuffed with flyers, taped phone call messages, and hyperventilating citizens.

Whoopee!
