Can Progressives Win “Yes” votes in November’s “Just Say No” Election?
Governor Schwarzenegger’s call for a statewide special election in November could potentially reshape San Francisco’s local contests. An historically low off-year election turnout has been replaced by a contest that should bring masses of Democrats and Greens to the polls to defeat the Governor’s right-wing power grab. November would appear to be ripe for a series of local progressive initiatives, but there’s a problem: activists urging “yes” votes on local measures could be drowned out by the “Just Say No” statewide campaign that will blanket San Francisco.
