The San Francisco Mayoral Runoff Election

Democrat Gavin Newsom and Green party candidate Matt Gonzalez are running nearly neck to neck, depending on which poll you read. Still, there seems to be a 10% margin of undecided voters, and today's turnout will decide who wins. Younger voters go for Gonzalez, while older voters prefer Newsom. Add to the mix the fact that up to 40% of the vote will be by absentee ballot, and the results are anyone's guess. One thing is for certain: this has been a most unusual race! Tim Redmond, Executive Editor of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and John Wildermuth, political writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, join Host Larry Mantle to talk about the race.
