They're continuing to use the original funds that were to be set aside solely for the proposed new trains and routes for the mundane purpose of track-repair on lines that people already don't use. But don't forget, the only reason people don't use the trains is that we haven't spent enough money on them yet.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-15594880165744148382010-07-14T12:32:18.270-04:002010-07-14T12:32:18.270-04:00LawHawk.

But I really want to re-emphasize caution in becoming overly optimistic. At one point, the polls showed one conservative Republican ahead of Fiorina, with the other in serious competition. It didn't turn out that way at all. One of the greatest dangers we face in November is overconfidence, reliance on momentum, and Democrat lethargy. These are our elections to lose, not theirs to win.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-72090622641919203392010-07-13T13:29:17.847-04:002010-07-13T13:29:17.847-04:00LL: We once proposed that all elected officials i...LL: We once proposed that all elected officials in San Francisco be required to get to work on MUNI. We almost pulled it off. Unfortunately, then-mayor Willie Brown actually did it, found out that it was every bit as bad as we fare-paying riders had said it was, and immediately threw the power of his office into squelching the proposal.

For a Republican to be ahead of the Democrat incumbent in California in a statewide election, by however slim a margin, is a very good sign that voter disaffection is going to work for the more moderate to conservative challengers (and in California, that's almost always a Republican). Let's hope it works against Jerry Brown as well.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-64364135788758219192010-07-13T13:22:51.531-04:002010-07-13T13:22:51.531-04:00Andrew: I think that San Francisco should pass an...Andrew: I think that San Francisco should pass an ordinance which requires that all voters go to the polls either on foot or on a MUNI bus.

But I do so with equal portions of hope and trepidation. I called Fiorina "Boxer-Lite" during the primaries, and worried that she spent more time ridiculing her conservative opponents than attacking the leftist incumbent. Only time will tell if I was wrong in my concerns. Nevertheless, in keeping with what I've said before, unless she goes completely over the cliff and shows herself to be a complete RINO, I will support the election of a candidate who puts another "R" on the Congressional caucus rolls.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-64469234811825516102010-07-13T13:15:32.845-04:002010-07-13T13:15:32.845-04:00Joel: Unfortunately as it relates to San Francisc...Joel: Unfortunately as it relates to San Francisco, the Republican opposition has been reduced by one-third with my exit.
