'd like to hear opinions on this from people like Melanie Morgan, Michael Savage, Brian Sussman, Barbara Olsen, Lee Rogers, David Gold,

I don't believe any of them actually LIVE in San Francisco. If I recall correctly, Melanie and Weiner are in Marin, Sussman is on the Peninsula (Santa Clara), Barbara SIMPSON (not Olsen, RIP 9/11/01) lives in Walnut Creek, and Rogers and Gold don't even live in California.

Oops. Yes I meant Simpson--the "babe in the bunker."

I guess your point is that "San Francisco values" does not refer to places like Mill Valley or Berkeley. The greater Bay Area is represented by people like Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey, Tom Lantos, Ellen Tauscher, Pete Stark, and George Miller.

I'm pretty sure David Gold is here in Texas . . . but just in case, I've pinged him.
