The Body Politic
Out of the slumber

POLITICS AND scandal are up to good old San Francisco speed after a lazy holiday. Let's commence. ... Anybody who thinks Supervisor Tom Ammiano is vulnerable in his re-election bid for District 9 is in for a rude awakening. A recent David Binder poll for Ammiano shows a 59 percent of voters favoring the incumbent. "Having been around the block a few times, I know it's not a slam dunk," Ammiano said. "It is reassuring." SF SOS, the downtown civic group that recently conducted polls on the supervisors up for re-election, didn't even bother with Ammiano. Too strong. ... That SF SOS poll was also Binder's work. Conducted in the last days of December, it had a sample of 600 and a margin of error of 4 percentage points. On the school board, it found that 15 percent of voters would re-elect Mark Sanchez and 10 percent would not, while fellow progressive Eric Mar fared slightly worse with 11 percent saying they would re-elect him while 13 percent would not. What's surprising is that three quarters of the voters are undecided or unaware of the November race. ...
New Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier has been through the rough world of electoral politics a few times, so this shouldn't hurt too much: Voter-history records show she failed to vote in six of the last 12 elections; five of those six she was registered as a permanent absentee. According to those records, she moved last August to her District 2 home on Jackson Street from a home near the University of San Francisco on Ewing Terrace, just outside of residency requirements for a November bid to hold the District 2 office Mayor Gavin Newsom appointed her to this week. The energetic Alioto-Pier will have plenty of opportunities to improve her voting record while serving The City, we trust. ... "Housing, housing, housing." That's what Newsom on Monday told The Examiner his first four years will be about, including supportive housing. "Housing, housing, housing" was Supervisor Chris Daly's pledge in 2002 as he ran for re-election, so these guys really should get along. Newsom's Proposition J would be far more popular had it been paired with his proposed $150 million bond to house the penniless. Prop. J comes in March, the promise for the penniless in November. ...
Attorney Jim Sutton's been doing all the talking on the question of whether Newsom's swearing-in committee is paying off campaign win bonuses -- he says no. But the treasurer for Newsom's campaign, cousin Laurence Pelosi, is nowhere to be seen. ... Politically active real-estate broker and developer Pius Lee is involved in a protracted legal battle with City Attorney Dennis Herrera, with Lee looking to clear his name. More Monday. ... Charlie Walker and others gathered Wednesday night to plan support for the mayor's recall on grounds he's excluding African-Americans from top spots in his administration. Judith Blackwell is gone as purchaser, and so is Ron Vincent as director of Neighborhood Services. ... Newsom no longer has business interests in The City, reports his office. ...
