At the Carnelian by the Bay behind the Ferry Building, District 5 supervisor Ross Mirkarimi seemed like a guy who didn't want to speak too soon.

But the cheers and hugs from supporters  -- and the smile spreading across his face -- reflected polling results so far.Mirkarimi was ahead by 10 points.

"This isn't over yet," he said. "But I like where it's going."

Sen. Mark leno was more direct, saying, "I think you are the next sheriff of San Francisco."
