SF Bloggers Show United Front (Font?) - Be Sure To Vote Today!

Constant Readers,

It has been a banner few days for Congressional District 12 candidate Jackie Speier in blogland. And it's all just in time for today's special election. Aside from my sycophantic posts about meeting Jackie and staging a protest because I can't vote in the D12 election, there were two enthusiastic posts by Greg Dewar, the author of both the NJudah Chronicles and Disinformation Rehab. Greg actually lives in Jackie's district, lucky dog!

Greg reminds us all that his district will go unrepresented for several more months unless Jackie gets 50%+1 of of the votes cast today.

Robert Solis gave a message that everyone should be out voting in full force since special elections tend to have a low voter turnout.

Even local political bible Usual Suspects got in on the action by highlighting Jackie's expected win and encouraging voters with info on the special election.

Calitics' own Brian Leubitz wrote a piece endorsing Jackie and also describing our pancake breakfast with Jackie on Sunday. Also on Calitics, Mark Leno used the occasion of his endorsement by Joe Alioto Veronese to wish Jackie well in Tuesday's election.

Even SFist made it a point to remind folks that Tuesday is election day and gave a shout out to Jackie.

Finally, my friend el Greco over at CriticalCloud just came right out and said that he never endorses anyone, but he was endorsing Jackie. Because I told him to. Which is totally true.

Many thanks to all who posted messages about Jackie and/or the election. I hope that the combined force of these sites will help to increase voter turnout - specifically votes for Jackie so she can hop a plane tomorrow morning and take her fiery conviction to D.C..

Though I will miss (stalking) her....
