While it is unusual for the Mayor to veto a bill that passed by a veto-proof majority, Newsom’s stated reason for the veto carries an ironic twist – according to the Mayor, Supervisors shouldn’t tell the po...

Election Predictions, November 2006 Despite political polls, correctly predicting election results is not easy. On the eve of the Republican’s 1994 national sweep, few predicted that Democrats would lose the House, and most foresaw only slight Republican gains. Nor could anyone predicting Democrats’ electoral disaster nationally and in California (where Republicans won control of the Assembly) foresee that San Francisco’s 1994 election would be the most progressive in history. Tom Ammiano was first elected to the Board of Super...

November Surprise, the Sequel Are we really surprised? The Saddam Hussein verdict, scheduled for October 16 and then suddenly delayed last month (supposedly because the Iraqi special tribunal needed more time) to November 5, the last news cycle before the US midterm election, has now come in and the former dictator (and monster) has been found guilty. The Bush administration, struggling desperately for face time in the media these last weeks, has one day of Iraqi front-page headlines and lead TV news stories of its dreams...

Voter Suppression in Midterm Elections: Electronic Glitches, ID Confusion, Voter Roll Purges A day before the 2006 midterm elections, we speak with New York Times editorial writer Adam Cohen about voter suppression in the United States and discuss some of the key races across the country. In his latest article, Cohen writes, "Six years after the 2000 election meltdown, voting machines are still unreliable, and there are an array of other obstacles to voters who want their votes to count. Voting is a right and a responsibility, but it is also, unfortunately, a challenge."...
