Results -- big surprise!Early results are in, and the mayor's race is no real surprise -- Gavin Newsom's at 77 percent, which is just the absentees, and that will drop. But the big news: In the very conservative absentees, Prop. A is just slightly behind -- and Prop. H is actually LOSING. That's over, and it's over big -- in the most important race for progressives, it looks like a clear and convincing victory. You can take this one to the bank -- Don Fisher has lost, big, and Prop A, the competing transit measure, has won.
The other big surprise: Prop. E, the measure that wll require -- and I said WILL require -- Gavin Newsom to appear before the Board of Supervisors for "question time" looks like it's going to pass. So Newsom wins -- but he's going to have to answer to his critics.

Dear SFBG,
Suck It.
Sincerely,
Gavin.

I do hope that Prop E pulls it out, but it is going to be very close. It looks like at least half of all ballots cast are absentees. That means election day voters need to support E with at least a 52-48 margin. Maybe the Guardian slate will make the difference!
