The Tenderloin’s own Board Member Dissident and Dalai Lama of the Derelique’d [laughing] My Ass [off], Chris Daly, says he is considering stepping up from under Matt Gonzalez, Ross Mirkarimi and whichever neo-hippy’s ass he’s been sniffing lately to challenge Gavin Newsom in this November’s mayoral race.
Let’s get this straight, the most hated and least successful of all the limp-wrist, salad-eaters has won the opportunity to lose to an incumbent mayor with 78% approval ratings. Sounds like Ukrainian spam announcing, “Yoo Win! Send Bank Akount and Social Sekretary Numbor for Pri3e – Xopowo!”
“At this point, if there were a bigger name challenger to Newsom in the fall it would be me.”
Back in June, Daly said he wouldn’t run, but Daly says things changed when Gonzalez, who nearly beat Newsom in 2003, announced he wouldn’t run last week. Gonzalez, a Green Party member, was widely considered the best candidate to mount a challenge to Newsom from the left. Without a viable progressive contender in the mayor’s race, Daly says, “I’ve obviously been talking to close friends and allies about what that means for us.”
Friends? Allies? Name one! Even Josh Low, Daly’s brother-in law, says he’s unqualified!
Daly says he and his allies are debating whether it would be better for the city’s progressive movement for him to run against Newsom or to just sit it out and focus on maintaining the leftist majority on the 11-member board of supervisors (all hate Daly) in 2008. Several supervisor seats are up next year.
Gavin’s got to be pulling for him to enter the race. Nothing contrasts a good tan like an albino nearby!
One thing is certain; we won’t have to wait long to learn if the newly crowned king will be taking his seat amongst the confederacy of dunces. The candidate-filing deadline is 5 p.m. this upcoming Friday.
