Republican Kevin Faulconer Wins San Diego Mayor Special Election

A tinge of hope for California, sheesh.

At the San Diego Union-Tribune, "Faulconer wins mayor's race."

And from Leslie Eastman, at Legal Insurrection, "GOP’s Kevin Faulconer is new San Diego Mayor!"

Plus, from W.C. Varones, "Stench of Obama sinks Alvarez campaign."

Faulconer will be the only GOP governor of a top-ten city in the county. And hey, that's alright. You gotta take the country back one burg at a time.
