Gonzalez or Daly Will Likely Face Newsom in NovemberRandy Shawbyline‚ May. 21‚ 2007Supervisor Chris Daly’s call for a June 2 convention to select a challenger to Mayor Newsom has three potential outcomes. The most likely is a mass outpouring for Matt Gonzalez to run for Mayor. If Gonzalez refuses to run (and ignore the Chronicle’s report that he has already made this decision), then the second most likely scenario is that Chris Daly will take up the task. Neither Gonzalez nor Daly has anything to lose by making the race, which is why their candidacies make sense. In the unlikely event neither run, then the convention will have defeated Daly’s purpose by affirming that Newsom runs unopposed in November. |
