Lisa, were you successful in following your 2009 and 2010 Resolutions? What have you resolved for 2011?

In 2011, I resolve to continue advocating for use of public transit.

The major resolution on this blog should be for the bloggers to read their comments and see if any have any value except negative, grouchy, opinionated, unuseful and just plain nonsense gibberish of no value to anyone. What ever happended to courtesy,consideration and understanding of one another?? And ARne, when are you going to stop blaming everything on the public employees??

I agree: AD15 was the watershed race in the Bay Area. Watch for my story later this week about the ramifications of 2008 decisions in 2009.

And I will check out the central committee site. I had heard there was some shuffling going on.

It is interesting that you focused on the Andal vs. McNerny race when the real watershed was the AD 15 race. The loss of this once conservative stronghold is the end of Republicans holding elected partisan office in the Bay Area. Andal is a side show candidate who never had a hope of winning. I think he lost by 15 points ouch!! His era of Bill Baker Republicanism is dead.

The loss of AD 15 has the local party Republicans scrambling to save their collective hides. Check out what is going on at the CCC GOP Central committee they are going to have a member resign and appoint the current president so he can keep the Del Baccaro power structure in place. They are scared of Ron Paul types comming to thier ranks. Other Republicans are now down grading their political futures based on the stunning defeat of Wilson in AD15. Chack it out..

Hi Lisa,

One of my resolutions this year is to also try and help you and all of your colleagues keep their jobs. For all the misguided noise and nonsense about the ‘mainstream media,’ without journalism and dedicated journalists (and let’s face it – you have to be dedicated to be a journalist; it sure doesn’t pay well), our system of government will vanish into the mists of power and greed. You folks are the front line of our democracy, and I will do whatever I can to keep you employed. Happy new year.
