John & Ken are pissing in the wind with this stunt. Anybody they target will easily win reelection. Instead, they should be firing up the troops to hold the feet of Supervisors Antonovich and Knabe to the fire to prevent either one of them from voting to put a sales tax increase initiative on the ballot. This is where the populism of John & Ken can do the most damage. Rumor has it that the Board of Supes will again delay their vote and probably won't vote on the issue until right before the early August deadline.

A and K will be the two votes against the sales tax. They will be outvoted. Of course Drier will win re-election, albeit if John and Ken really fry him, by a fairly narrow margin. But he will have to sweat a bit, and defend himself, and isn't that what the public square is all about? Maybe he will tack a bit to avoid some of the more dangerous waves. Democracy is messy, and loud mouths like John and Ken have made it messier, and I love it.
