Fletcher Wins Race For Most Klout
Politics & Media Mashup
I wrote a post six months ago comparing the Klout scores of San Diego mayoral candidates, council members and a few others who know their way around Facebook and Twitter. It generated a little buzz.
Tony Krvaric, Todd Gloria and others compared their scores on Twitter. Former U-T San Diego columnist Tom Blair mentioned the post in one of his columns and it was the subject of a short 10News story.
Klout is not without problems, so I took a little ribbing.
Mayor’s Race Takes Me Back to 7th Grade
Politics & Media Mashup
We’re 10 days out from Election Day and here is what we know about the San Diego mayoral race:
- Carl DeMaio is in.
- The second spot looks like it’s going to go down to the wire. Bob Filner is carrying a slight edge over Nathan Fletcher.
- Trailing behind is Bonnie Dumanis, but she’s not going down without a fight.
Two separate sources I trust told me this week some of the latest polling numbers show DeMaio in the high 20s/low 30s; Filner in the low 20s and Fletcher in the high teens.
Campaign Flyer Contains False Info
A judge ordered judicial candidate Terrie Roberts to strike false and misleading information from her ballot argument. She did. But Roberts then used some of the stricken statements in her campaign literature.
Some of the campaign literature Superior Court Commissioner Terrie Roberts is distributing contains information that a court has ruled is false and misleading.
Last month, a judge found that Roberts, who is running for San Diego County Superior Court Judge, made false and misleading statements about her qualifications. Roberts was ordered to change her Statement of Qualifications and remove the false and misleading claims, which were in violation of state law.
DeMaio: ‘My real opponents are the government employee unions and powerful downtown interests’
Carl DeMaioPolitics & Media Mashup is on break for the next few weeks so we can bring you exclusive Q & As with San Diego Mayoral candidates Carl DeMaio, Bonnie Dumanis and Nathan Fletcher.
We kicked off the series last week with Fletcher. We determined the order based on when the responses to our questions were received — first in, first up. Despite repeated attempts, no one from Bob Filner’s campaign would answer our questions, even though a staffer there said, “We read Rostra all the time.”
