it sucks. Beyond that, it would be beyond dumb politically.

As long as the "Solid South" remains solidly R, Dems will need California's electoral votes to win the Presidency. Geographically, Most of California is Republican. If Dems lose San Fran or LA or any of their California strongholds, who knows what will happen?

Luckily, no Republican showing up so far is likely to beat Obama, but no good can come from generating this kind of publicity in San Fran.
