Gavin Newsom's Mariah Carey-like Interview Demand
Only one more day until... the District 6 election! (And thank God for that.) This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Last Day!
Daly supporter and video savant DiggaSlidwell forwards along his latest magnum opus, a comparison between the Daly HQ and the Black HQ last night. This is in response to Pat Murphy's Sentinel story that Gavin Newsom said the Black campaign was the most exciting he'd seen. One might argue in response it's not a good sign that one candidate's people are worried enough that they're working around the clock two nights before the election -- but the Dalyheads do look like they're having fun!
Another issue that's come up is that Daly claims to have 6000 votes locked up, and Black claims to have 7000. Left in SF, however, notes that 13,000 exceeds the number of voters in D6. Either there's a math problem, or -- vote early and often, folks! No wonder the feds are monitoring tomorrow's election.
Stay tuned to this space as Nov. 6 news breaks in District 6! (Updates after the jump -- now three!)
--M&R report that the Golden Gate Restaurant Association has spent $130,000 on its latest anti-Daly ad blitz. The GGRA says they hate Daly because he called their former president "a bitch" at a BoS meeting. Daly says the GGRA hates him because he votes to support low-wage workers, and besides, he doesn't remember calling the president that. We were hoping he'd go with, "...but that sounds like something I might have said."
--New update! Gavin Newsom voted early today, with Doug Chan and Rob Black. Here's the Chron's take, from their new Local News blog:
Newsom said Daly's supporters can be "insulting, obnoxious and rude" and that their tactics remind him of the campaign Matt Gonzalez waged against him for mayor three year ago. "It's very reminiscent," he said.
--Next update! Someone got a picture of the incredibly disgusting anti-Daly ad they're talking about on SFJunto. We're not running the picture. Who thought it was a good idea to link the idea of "Vote Rob Black" with a picture of feces? [Your answer, from Fog City Journal: Ryan Chamberlain of the SFSOS.]

ok, so was that guy Robert Haaland who is unequivocably not running, not lent out to and not reccomended to work on the Daly campaign by his union?
Cuz you know, he never said he was working on it, just that he unequivocably wasn't lent out or running it.
Cute, but Black volunteers work upstairs from the entry office videotaped.
What do you expect - the Sentinel is a conservative, Establishment shill. They've got 5 year olds in Pakistan making drool for them for the amount they regularly slather over Gavin's balls.
Personally, I find it funny - and oh so indicative of the shallowness of many in SF - that if the Gav-ster wasn't Mr. Good Looking Rich Bachelor and instead looked like every other schlub politician, he'd have long ago been ridden out of town with a 30% approval rating for having accomplished zilch as Mayor.
From the POV of person who is at the Daly HQ more or less every day since the day it opened its doors, I can say with 100% certainty that Robert Haaland has been in here a total of two times. He is not working for the Daly campaign in any capacity.
Nope, Halland wasn't there last night. I've been spending a lot of time at Daly headquarters, and I don't think I've seen him there. But I like how there's this budding mythology about him like he's some election-shifting juggernaut.
ok, so since it's not Robert - who is it?
Sincerely not sure who you are referring to, suzeqzee. Are you thinking of someone in the video who resembles Robert? I watched it to see if that's the case but I don't see anyone who does.
I am referring to the guy who is pointing to stuff in the daly video that is linked to above.
That's not Robert. It's a Daly volunteer named Andy.
Even if Robert were lying about working on the Daly campaign--which he is not--do you really think he'd be stupid enough to be on a video in Daly headquarters?
I assure you he's not.
Here's a picture of Robert Haaland I found online if you want to compare.
the question of whether or not he was working at all on the campaign was never clarified for me. From the Left in SF board, I understood that he was not RUNNING the campaign, nor was he there at the request of anyone - but I wouldn't presume to call anyone else's actions stupid. I was just curious.
To me, add some glasses on Robert and there is some resemblance, although I probably wouldn't think so if I knew both the gentlemen in question personally.
Priceless!
How in the hell can Andy Blue ever in his entire lifetime, even if he lives to be 900 years old, overcome having been mistaken for Robert Haaland?
h.
Dave: "the Sentinel is a conservative, Establishment shill."
You mean the Sentinel that has a banner that says "Hand Nancy Pelosi the Gavel" right at the top of page. I bet Bill O'Reilly himself is managing editor.
Seamus,
If you know anything at all about SF politics (which you obviously don't), the local Rethugs don't run Rethug candidates. There's no point to it - its a useless exercise. Instead they support the pro-business, as far right as they possibly can find in SF, Democratic candidate.
Thus, the Rethug support for Rob Black. For Michela "Vote for Me Because I'm Disabled" Alioto-Pier. For Dufty (although in this case, Alix is a bit of a loon, so I can understand that one.) For Gavin.
