Yeah, its a pretty sad selection, but nobody of merit wants to take the reigns of this pig called San Diego. The city is a total mess, and whoever tries to clean it up is going to have to take a lot of crap.
The job ahead for the new mayor of SD is no less challenging than that facing Arnie.
Arnie's got an edge in dealing w/ the problems, though.
If his initiatives fail, he can say "you had your chance" and go to sleep
The SD mayor will be under constant bombardment and can't walk away.
