Yes, that was my point. If Schiff wins, it’s just more of the same from that seat. I’d like to see Garvey on the statewide ballot just for the debates when he could actually criticize Democrat policy to a statewide audience. Two Rats running that doesn’t happen. Even if Garvey loses the general, it’s a win IMO just getting to the general election ballot as a conservative Republican.
I can remember when SF mayor Willie Brown came to the SF GOP, hat in hand, and asked for it’s support against Tom Ammiano, a far left fudge-packer.
In the GOP letter of support it referred to Brown as a ‘capable’ Mayor and that Amiano was from the ‘Eat The Rich’ crowd. I vividly remember all the well dressed(suits and ties) Amiano supporters at the BART stations holding up their signs. “I’m a Tom-Boy!”
Would a Schiff defeat be more satisfying than a Garvey loss? I did the right thing and voted for Garvey. Still Shiff just may be smarter than us.
