I honestly thought the Repub would edge Cindy. I’m sure it’s not the first congressional race were we placed third but that’s really appalling. Party support should never be that low.
Billyboy as I recall you predicted 30%+ for the wackjob.
SF still had a minor GOP presence into the ‘70s (half the city had a moderate GOP Congressman, Bill Mailliard, until 1974), and even early ‘80s, but they went ultraleft fast and viscerally reacted against center-right politics under Reagan. By the late ‘80s, the party presence there was dead. One big reason is that the city just isn’t family-friendly, indeed, it is either the #1 or one of the top Congressional districts devoid of children with two-parent households. It used to be a good indication of how Republican or Democrat a district would vote based upon that measure, with fewer children and two-parent households being more Dem. Most of those aforementioned families cleared out by the ‘70s and ‘80s.
