1. Angelides is one of the best WORKHORSES in Cali. It'll take that to
correct course from all the damage inflicted by that fascist nimrod Arnold.

3. I am afraid it is a moot point with the new SoS in place. The fix is in.

4. I prefer Angelides, based on experience
--but honestly either is better than the promisebreakanator. :eyes:

Westly and his wife make a very cute couple!
(felt bad not saying something nice about him).

5. Undecided (altho I voted for Phil)
I've known Steve since eBay's IPO, and I have met them both at local rallies and fund raisers.

I think Phil has a better organization on the ground - but either would be better then the boobengrabber.

7. What's behind door number three?
Angelides talks a good game but he's a developer and they're just. plain. evil. Nobody who made money ruining my town gets my vote.

Westly? meh.

I'd hope those weren't my choices. Of the two I think I'd pick Westly but that's more of a vote against Angelides than an expression of great confidence in Westly, who just strikes me as too centrist (of course most politicians strike me as too centrist.) I'd hope for better choices but I don't think we're too likely to get any.

8. Sorry but neither guy does anything to move me
I'm not sure who that person is in California anymore.

Phil Angelides looks like a back seat kind of guy he might have ambition but that is not going to beat Arnie.

Westly I honestly know nothing about this guy.

What can either of these two due for us in cleaning up this awful mess we are in? Do they have a plan? I disconnected myself from local politics far to long.

What about Newsome, Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco
done great things for Homeless, supports gay marriage and is pro choice a true defender of civil rights.
Has had a number of dealings with Arnie already.

If I was to say who I would like to see, its someone like Newsome.

Peace

9. The Westly's have a couple of kids also.
Steve disclosed his tax records today in the
LA Times...Angelides nor Arnold has done the same.

You want an ex real estate developer or businessman
tied to Silicon Valley?

I still will vote for a career politician over
an actor.

10. I remember Steve kissing Arnold's rear end on TV.
Steve forever lost my vote with those ads.
