The suspense is killing us -- in the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Absentees. Okay, time for a new District 6 post! We're going to try putting updates on the top of the post again, as news comes in. --Update -- we're busy at work so no commentary, but here's the latest numbers from sfgov.org. MEMBER, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DIST. 6 VOTE FOR 1 CHRIS DALY . . . . .......

When does the RCV count begin -- in the District 6 election! And as promised earlier, this week's episode is indeed titled: Everybody Hates The Wait. --Man, it sounds like we just missed the Dalys' almost-to-victory speeches at the DNA Lounge last night. Savannah Blackwell (yay! she's writing again!) has the good word. We're trying our best to get YouTube footage of Mrs. Chris Daly telling off "the motherf**kers at the Golden Gate Restaurant Association,"......

Everybody hates Chris -- but everyone loves a charticle! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Negatives. So much negative information these days! Does Rob Black really hate unions? Does Chris Daly take dirty money? Does Matt Drake shamelessly pander to baby-lovers? (Congratulations on your new nephew, Matt!) It's just so hard to keep it all straight -- who's saying what about whom now? So we here at SFist have generously put together our Chart Of......

Again -- Rob Black/Matt Drake fans, if you guys send us your YouTube clips, we'll gladly post 'em -- for the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Heartwarming. We got forwarded this latest YouTube clip of Chris Daly on the campaign trail, by DiggaSlidwell. We'll let Mr./Ms. Slidwell tell it to you in his/her words: I got sick of all the crazy hate mail bad mouthing Chris Daly, so I took my camera......

It's a mishmash of random news items about -- the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Odds And Ends. Okay, most of these items are about Chris Daly -- because none of you Rob Black, Matt Drake, Manuel Jimenez, or anyone else supporters are sending us items. Rob Black hasn't even bothered to update his blog since August 25. Help us help you, Everybody But Chris candidates! --Daly's bought a bunch of ginormous......

We're going to make our editor even more unhappy -- by posting about the District 6 election again! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Poll Numbers. Our editor's asked us to tone down the District 6 coverage.... but we just can't stop! The Chron's Matier and Ross today have released numbers purporting to show that Rob Black has a 6-point lead on Chris Daly, with the numbers at 37%-31%. This contrasts with one set of numbers......

Ha ha ha ha -- they threw Chris Daly into a swimming pool! Commenter El Greco and photographer Drew Altizer earn a sweet spot in our heart for passing along their pictures of the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Center Pool Toss event on Tuesday. As promised, Daly wore a suit. Pat Murphy of the Sentinel was also there with the color commentary, reporting that Daly went into the splash with his wife Sarah, for a bid......

Last week's winner, the East Bay Express: Hey, the EBX is starting a blog -- we hear those are very trendy. But they've got us listed as a link, right below the Culture Blog, so it's all okay! Bottom Feeder mocks the errors made by the Bay Guardian in its East Bay endorsements. Would you buy expensive organic meals prepared by these folks? Confrontational atheists meeting near Walnut Creek. Cover article: the woes of air......

The ink's flying -- in the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Op-Eds. So many forums to express District 6 thoughts! The three candidates pictured to your right (Rob Black, Matt Drake, and Chris Daly) all have op-eds running in various local publications -- Rob (.pdf) and Chris in dueling Examiner op-eds and Matt Drake in SF Downtown. What do they have to say? How do they compare? We've done you up one......

--D6 candidate Matt Drake says Chris Daly's never talked about tidal power before because Daly doesn't want to work with Newsom. We thought tidal power was a Matt Gonzalez idea. Besides, District 6 doesn't border the ocean. --Greg Dewar finds the MUNI Goofus and Gallant. --Arts education is coming back to SF. --The head of the housing authority still dreams of being a stand-up comic. --Mountain View is going to start trapping and killing the......

SFist Rita has been going on and on about the District 6 City Life Supervisor Candidate Forum, or, as we refer to it at SFist HQ, "Everybody Hates Chris: Special Debate Edition!" See District 6 candidates Rob Black, Chris Daly, Matt Drake, George Dias and Robert Jordan (sadly, neither George nor Robert agreed to interview requests from SFist, so no links for you!) answer to The Usual Suspects' Jaime Rossi, as he poses quality-of-life questions......

It's our column about the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Numbers. The Chron's finally paying attention to the Board of Supes races -- choosing to kick off its "we profile the candidates" series with the "South American country" that we call District 6. (they call the district South American because of the great disparity between poor and rich, and not just because of the tasty Peruvian restaurants on Mission Street.) As......

So you live in District 6, you've been faithfully reading our interviews of the candidates, and you're trying to make up your mind who to vote for -- what to do? Fear not! SFist has thoughtfully put together a table of everyone's answers to our deeply-incisive District 6 Interviews, to make your decision-making that much easier. (Just so you know, we gave everyone the option to skip questions they didn't want to answer, so don't......

So we contacted everyone running for the District 6 seat, and run all the interviews we've received. (Thanks, Manuel Jimenez, Matt Drake, and Rob Black!) So in the spirit of fair play, it seems only right to give the last candidate some space of his own, to answer the exact same questions we asked everyone else. That's right: it's the one, the only -- they call him the Big Dog of the District, but......

We're continuing our series of interviews of the Anyone But Chris Daly hopefuls in the upcoming District 6 election! Today's guest: Matt Drake. Hi, Matt! Check out Matt's campaign blog too. Matt emailed us after his previous never-met-the-guy profile, objected to our characterization of his as boring, and asked for a chance to prove us wrong. We're always happy to be proven wrong! (as you can see by our constant stream of corrections in the......

This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Field. We don't understand why everyone else isn't nearly as obsessed with the District 6 election as we are. How can that be? Thank goodness for the Usual Suspects, who gallantly went out and actually did some research about who's running against Daly in November (only six more shopping months until ELECTION DAY!). So it's Daly versus the field! So who's the field? Well, there's the three people we've......

Our occasional series on the District 6 Board of Supervisors election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Varnish. Yesterday, we were wandering with some friends in SoMA trying to find a place to get some post-work libations. As we entered the Varnish art and wine bar on 77 Natoma Street, we noticed a sign in the window: DRAKE '06, www.drake2006.com. Could it be? Could it be another candidate running against Chris Daly? After we ran through two, maybe three, glasses of Varnish's fine red house wine and shamelessly eating all the tasty chex mix they offered, we staggered home, logged in, and can report the following information! Candidate Matt Drake is a former mechanical engineer turned lawyer. Man, everyone running against Chris Daly is a lawyer! Drake doesn't say where he's working now, but says he's never worked in government. Other than that, he's an enigma. We're piecing this together from his (kind of boring) website and blog, but it looks like Drake supports pretty much everything Newsom supports, wants to build more market-rate housing in the Mission, wants a Home Depot in Bayview, and wants them to berth the USS Iowa here. Also, he loves trees and wishes more people filmed movies in town. Drake's throwing a fundraiser next Thursday at Varnish if you want to stop by; your suggested minimum donation is $30. If you go, get the house wine; it was pretty tasty. ...
