It would appear that San Diego Major Jerry Sanders has reached his boiling point when it comes to dealing with challenger Steve Francis. At a recent gathering, Francis apparently reached out to shake the Mayor’s hand, and instead Sanders dropped the "F" Bomb on his opponent. I guess when you buy as much television time as Francis has done, it has gotten "under the skin" of Sanders. Check out the San Diego U-T’s blog post on this here.
I can’t figure out Steve Francis, by the way. I was pretty excited by his candidacy early on. But he keeps campaigning like an Arnold, Jr. For Earth Day, he sent out an e-mail in which he embraced the whole global warming alarmist agenda, leading one to wonder what new types of regulatory burdens he would place on the people of San Diego.
To be honest, I was pretty displeased with the way that the San Diego County GOP endorsed the incumbent, Sanders, with no notice and opportunity for Francis to make his case.
That said, if Francis is embracing the "post-partisan" stances of our Governor, I’m not sure why Republicans should be excited.
Remember that when you try to be all things to all people, you are endearing yourself to no one. Maybe an internationally acclaimed movie star can get away with that…

Ouch! Telling your opponent to “F” off is pretty strong.
The Mayor’s race in San Diego must be tense.
Though, maybe Francis should call Senator Leahy for advice.
