San Francisco's mayoral candidates are having a hard time rising about the din created by Total Recall. But they're doing better, over all, than the folks in the District Attorney's race.
The SF Weekly takes a savvy look at Kamala Harris' candidacy and city politics, specifically the role that Mayor Willie Brown is playing -- or playing at not playing -- in the race.
The "Whither Willie" question is a good one that hasn't been answered. What is the mayor going to do, come January, now that San Francisco isn't in the running to hose the 2012 Olympics? Fill some corporate boards, for sure. There's going to be a renewed interest in finding independent directors -- ie corporate outsiders -- for corporate board seats. That'll help pay his Brioni bill. But what else? What else?
