San Diego is conservative at heart. Navy and Marine town.
Sanders is NOT a conservative. One of his supporters was architect of the pension mess: ex-city manager Jack McGrory
Sanders will act as a tool of local corporate interests. Not a bad thing given our financial mess, but he's not a person of conservative convictions. He has said he'll know by May 2006 if San Diego will be taken into bankruptcy.
Sanders was a "hold your nose and vote" candidate.
