I didn't say Cheh was going to win. I said that she is a terrific person who has done a number of things in support of human rights and political freedoms. She would make a very good councilmember.
In addition to Rice, Gaull, and Strauss who also have very good credentials and would make good councilmembers, Goulet, Brooks, Gordon, and Wiss are also impressive. I think that all eight of these candidates would be good for the city and represent us well.
I don't live in Ward 3, but I have met all of these candidates. Some I have known for several years. I have provided some advice, information, and contributions for a few of the candidates. Obviously I think some would be better than others, but I'd be happy to see any of the eight win.
I have not met Conroy who is running as a Republican, so I won't say anything about her other than that she has a great disadvantage as a non-Democrat in this race.
I haven't seen polling data in this race, and I don't have a sense of who is ahead. Is there polling data? I've only seen the polls for city wide races.
I have been less impressed with the Ward 5 candidates. This is largely my lack of familiarity with them, but none have really stood out as first rate. To be fair, I live in Ward 1, and I am not being targetted by thier campaigns.
Who do people like in Ward 5?

I thought you said I was a super fag.
One of my friends said that I was the most super fags she knows.
