Citizen Matt
December 7, 2003
Walking up the stairway from the City Hall underground parking garage this afternoon, I found myself unexpectedly immersed in a rally for Matt Gonzalez (San Francisco's upstart Green Party mayoral candidate, and prodigal political protégé of my across-the-street neighbor Tom Ammiano).
As I made my way past the crowd, a woman onstage was exhorting everyone to get out the vote, calling Gonzalez...
Which is not to impugn Mr. Gonzalez, who by all accounts seems to be the genuine article, leftie-ideologue-wise. But where would any respectable leftie candidate be without a passel of children-of-the-Establishment-turned-Sunday-afternoon-radicals?
