the Washington Post had an article today about the San Diego mayor(s) and their scandals. The article didn't mention which party they belong to. Are they republicans?

Could be wrong, but don't think so.

| 2. dick murphy was a republican.. |

Councilmen Michael Zucchet, Ralph Inzunza and Charles Lewis (charged with accepting cash bribes to relax no-touch regs at strip clubs) were all Dems.

| 4. The office is "non-partisan" but the last 2 elected mayors were Republican |

..Zucchet who was very briefly acting mayor was a Democrat though his terms lasted all of one day as he was convicted of some bribery charges and resigned.

| 5. Maureen O'Connor (Mayor Mo), was the last Dem mayor. |
|
And she actually did things to improve the city. The last two repugs, Susan Golding and Murphy were "do-nothing for the people but everything for developers and defense contractors", kind of Mayors.
Keep in mind Mayoral elections here are non-partisan.

| 7. Don't forget Roger Hedgecock, the Republican mayor |
|
caught in a scandal involving his house (shades of Duke Cunningham). He's now a talk radio host.

| 8. Oh yeah. I remember when that went down. |
|
Hedgecock lied about taking city money to fund his re-election campaign. And a couple of other little things too.
