Sounds like the event was even more boring than watching all the City's politicos go buy in the classic cars at the front of a big parade. Word to the politicos - blow your spew on YouTube, and hope folks watch ... at least we can fast forward to the good stuff.

Here is what I think we should all contemplate when choosing our next mayor and what we should all try to live by. A lovely woman says this about being progressive: “When I think of what being a progressive means, I believe that it means you are not necessarily aligned with any one political party. Instead, you advocate and believe in policies that will raise up and help all people, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Being a progressive means that you take consideration of others’ situation, not just your own when formulating a policy. Similarly, a progressive believes in policies that enhance the collective good, rather than the good of a few individuals.” Jerilyn Libby

I believe the convention was billed as a nominating convention not as a platform to announce candidacy. And by the energized stomping and chanting of RUN ROSS RUN,by the majority of people,I believe the convention did what it was billed as.

Bunch of people who could actually make a difference in America if they didn't live in San Francisco.

I looked up the word idiot in the dictionary and found a picture of Elsbernd next to the definition. What a tool. Sarah Low Daly for Mayor!

Your pictures were awesome, Jerry! They were really great in reminding me who actually spoke. I just ran out of room in the post was all, and was hoping to use your pictures for future SFist posts!

I couldn't compete with all the pro cameras.I guess I am to grass roots for spending several thousands of green backs for that.Not that I got about 56 good pic's out of about 60. But beside that I have to say this,Ross said that he wouldn't announce that he was running today.Get it.
