SD MAYOR: DOWN TO 2 CANDIDATES
It's going to be Frye versus Sanders.
As I blogged earlier in the week, I cast my absentee for Steve Francis, who ended up getting 22% of the vote. The turnout was anemic...only 24% of San Diegans voted. Frye got 42%, Sanders 27% and the others split the rest.
What irks me now, and seems always to be true of my Party, is that we split the vote. Frye was the only Democrat. If the GOP had just one candidate...
From what I hear, Frye least wanted to face Sanders. Apparently the polling tells the story of Sanders easily defeating Frye head to head. By sharp contrast those same polls show that Frye would have easily defeated Francis head to head. It's interesting how this info only became public after Tuesday's election rather than before. Had I known this I probably would have voted for Sanders just to defeat Frye.
I continue to be amazed by the fact that Frye got such a large percentage. She is a candidate of zero substance. All she says is a mangled hodge podge of touchy feely crap. Pure rhetoric. Plus, she's a member of the City Council that has gotten the city into an unprecedented financial morass. She's a big part of the problem we now face.
While she campaigns on leadership and experience it begs the obvious questions: Where was Donna Frye and that vaunted leadership these past three and a half years? What precisely is the experience that she believes is going to be valuable to San Diego over the next three years?
I'm voting for Jerry Sanders.

A while back Da Goddess posted “French Frye” and I was the first to comment on how we got rid of the French, calling them freedom fries, but now it is time to get rid of the Frye. Well she is still here and we need to do something about that. Now, I suppose that (Colonel) Sanders and (French) Frye’s are both “finger licking good,” depending on individual preference, but, given a forced daily diet of one or the other I’ll bet that the Sanders diet will at least keep one healthy, while Frye alone shall naturally lead to obesity and death. Let’s make it our goal to get Sanders elected. Does Donna Frye care to be responsible for her role in the current fiasco?
As ever,
