They say his promise to the people to serve them over a promise to politicians to not run (though they are happy to mention politician Sen Feinstein wants him to run sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/07/27/BAM31KFE... ).
I wonder what they would be saying if Sheriff Hennessey had been appointed interim mayor & then decided to run.
