Well, Campos says he’s with Ed Lee — and that means it’s over. For now, anyway. There’s a new board in place tomorrow; it’s hard to imagine that the new supes will change this vote, but they’ll have to reaffirm it.
So Mayor Ed Lee will have a tough job ahead of him — starting with the fact that there’s no question he came to office at least to some degree because of Willie Brown and Rose Pak. And that’s going to hurt his credibility. He doesn’t need to convince us that he’s no Gavin Newsom; ne needs to convince us that he’s not going to take directions from Willie Brown.
