This week in Everybody Hates Chris: Everybody Hates A Blogger.
Alas, District 6 aficionados, Jordanna Thigpen will not be running for Daly's seat either. Instead, she's running for the DCCCCCCCCCCCCC (sorry, we always forget how many Cs that has) instead. Thanks for playing, Jordanna!
So who else is up? Well, according to the Sentinel, the following people have announced their intent to run in District 6: Nadia Cabezas, Matthew Drake, Rodney Hauge, Manuel Jimenez, Bobby Jordan, Andrew Rucker, and William Stewart. Of these candidates, the Wall noted that one has a blog! He's the one whose name is a hyperlink! Guess who we're profiling next!
Welcome, Manuel Jimenez! He's a former bike messenger, a former Marine, and an attorney for the State Bar of California. Watch out, Chris, looks like he also has a cute son! Jimenez is running as the "Quality of Life Supervisor," as outlined in his policy papers. You know we've got a short attention span, so we're skimming here, but it looks like be nicer to the SFPD and move Board of Supes meetings to 5 p.m. Any position on impeaching Bush, Mr. Jimenez?
Also, Jimenez provides links to a children's book he's penned ("Timo's Tough Trek To School"), some supportive comments from his mom ("I'm thrilled you're running for office!"), his drawings, and excerpts from his novel. You can also check out his campaign blog (where he comes out against Daly's homicide task force plan) and his personal blog too. Wow, that's a lot of websites. We see a Bay Blogger Thursday profile in your future, Mr. Jimenez!

Everybody Hates Chris: The District 6 Election
Everybody Hates Chris: The District 6 Election
We've been dying to debut the new name for this column for weeks now -- weeks! Of COURSE SFist will be covering the District 6 race!
This week -- Everyone hates the Marina. The Daly-friendly Beyond Chron reports that Small Business Commissioner and ">columnist for the Daly-unfriendly SF Sentinel Jordanna Thigpen (pictured at right) is sending out feelers about possibly running against Old Daddy Thumbkin, claiming that he's not very environmental and too confrontational. C'mon, what about the time Daly snuck Sierra Clubber Adam Werbach onto the PUC? Not environmental: 0! (but confrontational: 1).
Thigpen is an attorney and runs Mask Italia on Chestnut Street, and is active in the Marina Merchants Association. She's previously come out against the San Francisco universal health care plans in 1996 (favoring a federal solution), and helped save a movie theater in the Marina by working with Walgreens. Also, she placed 982th in the 2004 Run to the Far Side. (There is too much information available about people on Google).
District 6ers, Thigpen'll be on SF/Unscripted (the show that formerly hosted beloved SFist Jackson) this week, if you're looking for your "anybody" in the "anybody but Daly" category.
