If there was ever any question about how out of touch Philip Anschutz and his San Francisco Examiner are with most San Franciscans…
The Examiner endorses McCain-Palin
Just for a little perspective, in 2000, George Bush received 51,367 San Francisco votes to Al Gore’s 240,935. In 2004, Bush received 54,355 to John Kerry’s 296,772. This February, there were 25,067 Republican votes for President to the Democrats 213,693. Of those, Barack Obama received 112,107, and the Examiner’s “Maverick” received a whopping 13,398 San Francisco votes! In other words, in both Republican-Democrat and McCain-Obama head-to-heads, the Examiner’s team came in just over 10%.
