In addition to throwing the ranked-choice race wide open, the development may be seen as an unsaid repudiation of Lee, whose candidacy was tainted when he broke his promise of not seeking a full term. The Board of Supervisors appointed Lee in January to complete then Mayor Gavin Newsom's final term on the expressed condition Lee would not exploit his interim "caretaker" status and seek a full term.http://www.fogcityjournal.com/images/photos2011/chinatown_mayoral_debate_20110928/mw2w3911_std.jpg
