The 2007 San Francisco Mayoral Elections

While eating our pancake breakfast this morning, Dick decided to entertain me by reading passages from the bios of the Candidates for Mayor for the upcoming election.

Some highlights:

H. Brown
Occupation: Publisher, SF Bulldog
bio highlight:
"I Believe in God, judgment and the SF 49'ers"

George Davis
Occupation: Writer/Nudist Activist
(Dick first read this as Writer/Nudist Architect, which was much funnier)
bio highlights:
"This is a One Issue campaign which is to make Golden Gate Park Clothing Optional..."
"You are free to be nude!!"
"Nude is not lewd"

Harold M. Hoogasian
Occupation: Florist/Coffee Farmer
Trina's notes: I've received flowers from his store before. I can attest that they were very beautiful. That means he'll make a good mayor, right?

Grasshopper Alec Kaplan
Occupation: Vegan Taxicab Driver (I can't make this stuff up)
bio highlights:
"Restore festival, carnival atmosphere; musicians, Artists, fun, love. Remember to smile, laugh, celebrate our wonderful existence, our fabulous planet..."

Michael Powers
Occupation: Nightclub Owner of the Power Exchange

John Rinaldi
Occupation: Showman
bio highlights:
"Hi, my name is Chicken John and I'm running for Mayor because I have a vision for the future of this city..."
"What are my qualifications? ... I converted my truck to run on coffee grounds with zero emissions..."

Gavin Newsom
Occupation: Mayor of San Francisco
bio highlights: We are the first American city to launch universal health care. We are taking bold action on climate change. We helped lead the fight for civil rights such as marriage equality. We won the stem cell center because the nation knows we are the capitol of innovation..."

So..... who would you vote for?

And seriously, does any other city have candidates like these?

It's a good thing that I'm still such a fan of Gavin. I know, he's made a few mistakes over the years, but let's face it: he's still the man for the job. He's' done some great things for the city in the past four years, and believe he's still got more to do.

Plus, the man has great hair.

What more could you want from a Mayor?

Here's an article on all of the candidates from sfgate.com.
