Today was another crucial day for the District 6 Supervisor campaign, and there was another good turnout for Daly. Probably not quite as big as last week, but there were quite a few folks, nonetheless.
Aaron Peskin MC’d and both Leah Shahum, from the Bicycle coalition, and Tom Ammiano spoke, as well as a couple other people. Chris gave one of his better speeches, which really fired folks up. He underlined the fact that if he loses, San Francisco will be in deep trouble.
It was a pretty good day of door-knocking, and we ID’d quite a few Daly voters. We ran into a guy who was on his way to San Juaquin County to help out with McNerney, and it reminded me how incredibly annoying it is that I have to knock on doors for Daly, when I could be helping to get rid of one of the worst members of Congress. Richard Pombo thanks you, Rob Black.
Speaking of Rob Black, Gavin showed up with Black in his shadow.
I was impressed with Gavin’s popularity, even among some of the folks for whom 16th and Mission is pretty much their living room. Folks were eager to meet the Mayor, and were willing to shake Rob Black’s hand to do it.
Once Newsom left, however, the Black contingent found it hard to get an audience, especially given his group of supporters, who, with one exception, didn’t really fit in in the neighborhood.

How did Medea do with her speech? Wasn’t Matt Gonzalez supposed to speak as well?

As of today I have now received two different mailers for Chris Daly from Afl-cio. Neither one had any mention of how much was spent to produce them. It appears Chris has soft money friends too.

There’s no requirement to say on the mailer how much it cost to produce. The requirement is to say who put it together. Unlike many of the anti-Daly mailers, these are legal, since they are not anonymous. They are also significantly less sleazy for the same reason.

I think Chris will be re-elected the question for turnout will be at what margins. The property owners and their bloc are looking at a lower turnout rather then defeating him. Also looking ahead whats next for Daly? how about PD and moving H to run for mayor?

Medea didn’t make it, but Matt Gonzalez was there. I’ve posted a couple video clips of Ammiano and Peskin from Saturday and Mike Hennessey from Sunday on youtube. Also, I put together of video of Chris talking to people that I shot last week:

I’ll try to put up clips of Gonzalez and Daly later today. If you support Chris, do me a favor and give my videos high rating and add them to your “favorites” so we can try to get them as highly ranked as the stupid daly-hating videos.
