Pointing out the obvious about the Gonzalez campaign
The Gonzales campaign spent 1/10 of the amount spent by Newsom and campaigned for 1/6 of the time that Newsom campaigned. This indicates that many thousands of voters were not taken in by Gruesome's slick electioneering.
If we start organizing now, we will have a real democrat at the helm of this beautiful city in four years. I have been watching elections for thirty years and I have never seen anything like the amazing gains Matt made throughout the night as the votes poured in. Never before have I been as enthralled by watching a vote count climb. As the percentages narrowed, I felt hope about politics again. It sure felt good to imagine the tightening and shriveling of various body parts among the Newsom campaign staff and its elite supporters. HAH! For a brief moment, for a change, they were anxious and distressed, and I was jubilant.
I am in the middle of law school finals now, writhing with disappointment that I was unable to help the Gonzalez campaign. There is no question in my mind that democratic success is within our grasp despite the best efforts of so-called Democrats to keep us numb and acquiescent to the power of big corporations.
Matt, we are there for you now to ensure victory in four years.
Congratulations, Gavin, on your election. Make the best of the term you have.
P.S. -- democrats, get on permanent absentee voter status now. Never miss a vote again!
