Jerry Brown, on the other hand, is exactly my favorite kind of candidate--intelligent, relatively full of integrity, radical. I hope he wins the Oakland mayoral race, and then on to the Democratic presidential campaign in 2000!!!!!!!!
If I lived in Oakland, I'd vote for Shannon Reeves. He's young, black, Republican, and president of the local chapter of the NAACP. He knows how to get things done, believes people should work for what they get, and has good, fresh ideas. I heard him on a local talk show a year or more ago, and was very impressed. I was very happy when I heard he was running for mayor, although it looks as though he has little chance of winning this time around.
If (when) mayor Brown the 2nd wins, it'll be very entertaining to watch. |
