Oh, bother! This WGx post full of intrigue and anticipation was going to be the feature article today! But then the website server took a little vacation, and then Murphy’s Law stepped in. Then we got an email from Clark Williams, announcing Ken Yeager’s endorsement.

So for a few hours anyway, please pretend you didn’t know that and ponder the possibilities anyway ….

Who Will Yeager Endorse? … a “tardy” article from WGx …

The District 6 City Council race includes an interesting subplot … who will departing Councilmember Ken Yeager endorse? After running for the County Supervisor in District 4 and winning outright in the primary, Yeager has the opportunity to be a king-maker. Certainly the candidate he endorses would advance from the primary election, which will be held November 7.

So, who will it be?

Clark Williams is running — in part — because Yeager has cleared the way for an openly gay politician in San Jose.

For other possibilties, consider that Williams, Jim Spence, and Steve Tedesco all endorsed Yeager for for his run for supervisor. Spence and candidate Brad Imamura ran against Yeager in 2000.

Pierluigi Oliverio is the early leader in lawn signs, but Yeager has committed to meeting all of the candidates — including lesser-known Art Maurice — before he commits. Stay tuned.

Thanks for indulging! So much for being a respectable news organization. ;-)
