For what it's worth, San Francisco clerk reporting record returns of mail-in ballots.

Being reporting on local news. We actually have some interesting state and city measures as well as a State Senate race that's splitting the local party in two.

1. They got mine last week!

I love how Nancy Pelosi just 'pops up' on ballot at election time--NO need to spend campaign money here!

2. We're so spoiled.

I opened my ballot and voted wearing only a t-shirt and boxers and dropped in the mailbox on the way to the BART station the next morning. The city even pays our postage.

But....I had a very hard time choosing between Kim and Wiener because I frankly, don't like either candidate.

3. Neither do I.

And I agree. We ARE spoiled. I voted at work and walked downstairs and dropped it in my postage paid envelope into the mailbox!

I did vote for Kim, as I sincerely dislike Wiener, but I did not do so enthusiastically.

4. I made a bargain

If Wiener wins, Lee replaces him with another moderate. If Kim wins, it potentially tilts the Board. So, I decided to send Wiener to Sacramento and keep Kim as a check on the mayor. They'll vote pretty much the same in the Senate. I regret losing Leno. We've lost a generation of good officials in the last few years.
