They picked Villines as their token (R), because someone might otherwise think they were biased or something.

The only surprise in the whole list is U.S. Senator.

How many people take these so called news papers serious any more...Who cares what they think we all know California is lost not only in politics, but morally..The good people there should get out..The Morons have taken over..

“No recommendation” means they will vote for Fiorina but don’t want to piss off the Boxerbots.

And the SF Crapper wonders why its dying a quick death.

This paper is now so cut down in size now that my local pennysaver dwarfs it.

They musta been smoking some of that stuff they don’t want to legalize when they came up with this list.

Well, the San Francisco Chronicle has doomed the late great state of California (to steal a book title from the 1970’s).

What the nation has gone through in the last two years is NOTHING when compared to what California is going to go through.

Too bad, because there is some very beautiful places in California and have many happy memories from 1970-71, 1979-1983 when I was stationed at Mather AFB outside Sacramento.

The communist party recommendations.

The only thing worth ever reading in the Comical over the years was Herb Caen. He’s been dead for decades now...

Need more coffee...

This is a great List!
I always vote opposite the Chronicle, the Sacramento Bee, an other MSM, print and TV.

A final double check of my weeks long research on ALL items on the ballot.
Any agreements with this list is cause for a second look.

Thanks, Chronicle!
