San Francisco update

Two weeks ago, in our coverage of the San Francisco mayor's race, we reported that incumbent Willie Brown would face former Mayor (1991-95) Frank Jordan in the runoff December 14. Although Jordan held the second-place spot most of the night, late returns instead gave it to Tom Ammiano, president of the City Board of Supervisors, who entered the mayoral race late as a write-in candidate.

Should Ammiano unseat Brown next month, he would be the first openly homosexual mayor of a major city.
