Isn't the Hasbro Family supporting Huckabee? [made up- no letters or research please]

it's a conspiracy i tell you. someone at hasbro probably hates our town for some reason. a disavowed gay son or ex-wife living here? who knows. hasbro is dead to me!

"Sf doesn't have one real distinguishing feature." Right, instead we have an absolute multitude of real distinguishing features as opposed to the Strip which isn't even technically in the city of Las Vegas!

Las Vegas is the gambler's Mecca. SF doesn't have one real distinguishing feature.

I voted and had no problem. Agreed with mdw0526 -- population don't matter. If Las Vegas -- LAS VEGAS!!! -- makes the default list of candidates, then SF should have been on it as well. Just no one tell Houstonist. Or (god forbid) Bostonist.

Um, I'm sorry sagitta100, but you are totally wrong. San Francisco's population had nothing to do with it. Our population is larger than both Vegas and DC.

San Francisco didn't receive enough votes because we only have 750k residents. Triple the population and then maybe we'll have a shot at being labelled a "world class" city.

No where on that drop down list does our SF show up. This is a joke. Screw Monopoly.

I'm with Suckafree. My browser wouldn't allow San Francisco, California, United States. It's not so much that SF isn't a world-class city. It's that someone had the temerity to think that Vegas and DC are.

Um, that's not true. I was able to nominate "San Francisco, California, US" from the auto complete. You can't do it more than once, though. Your daily ten votes are apparently ten votes for ten different cities.

suckafree, i think you're wrong, i voted for SF in the write in box. i typed "san francisco" and got a list of a couple dozen or so choices and San Francisco, California, US was one. i believe you need to sign up first. and use your real (as in junk) email address because they send you a confirmation email. still, fuck 'em.

I nominate Half Moon Bay at a price of $36 million.

Rest assured, suckafree, San Francisco, California, United States, does in fact show up in the drop down bar, along with about 6 other San Franciscos around the world (and a bunch of duplicates.) And it didn't ask for registration info until *after* you hit the nominate button. Whether or not votes are counted without registration, I dunno. But SF, CA, has been nominated. But personally, I'm rooting for my hometown of New Orleans. Though with the current state of things down there, it would be more likely to replace Baltic Ave. than Park Place, I'm afraid.

this thing is a fucking joke you can't nominate san francisco in our country, just butt fuck egypt versions EVEN after you go through the bullshit process of registering to vote the ass clowns at hasbro didn't put the real san francisco in the auto complete database for that field fuck them!!!!
