The Chron has a feature story on the race for City Council At Large #2, and I have to say, I find it a bit puzzling. For a frequent/perennial candidate who as far as I can tell has never actually done any campaigning, Griff Griffin comes across as someone who can actually articulate a reason why he’s running for office. Which makes me wonder why he’s never taken the job of being a candidate seriously. Who knows, maybe he could win if he put a genuine effort into it. Stranger things have happened, after all.
Not that it matters to me in this case. I like Sue Lovell just fine (and you may recall that I was a Jay Aiyer supporter last time), and will be happy to vote for her in November. But now I feel like I understand Griff and his neverending quest even less. Weird.
