By Luke Thomas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

September 15, 2010<\/p>\n

Of all the leading progressive candidates in the race to succeed Supervisor Chris Daly, which includes James Keys, Jane Kim, Jim Meko and Debra Walker, the only candidates not to have endorsed a second and third candidate to date are Keys, Kim and Walker.<\/p>\n

It should come as no surprise then to know that Keys is currently reaching out to both Kim and Walker to secure a three-candidate ranked choice endorsement strategy that includes Keys and excludes Meko.<\/p>\n

“While my main focus has been to build our campaign and continue bringing our message of social and economic justice to District 6 voters, I have also begun a discussion with other top-tier candidates to deal with the issue of exhausted ballots,” Keys said in a statement released to FCJ<\/a>. “In recent weeks, it has become more clear that the 3 strongest progressive candidates are Jane Kim, Debra Walker, and me. This analysis is based on number of volunteers, number of supporters within the district, endorsements, fundraising, signatures-in-lieu, etc. While it probably would make more sense for our campaign to concretize our relationship with Jim Meko, who has already recommended me as his 2nd choice, I think that progressives need to unite on a message of our 3 strongest progressive candidates.”<\/p>\n

The question becomes, does Keys have more support across the District than Meko? There\u2019s no doubt Daly\u2019s endorsement and strategic involvement in Keys\u2019 campaign has boosted Keys\u2019 prospects, but it remains to be understood whether Keys has more constituent support than Meko. Absent accurate polling data, this question remains difficult to answer.<\/p>\n

Responding to Keys’ claims, Meko said, “James Keys is delusional.”<\/p>\n

One thing FCJ can confirm, Kim\u2019s #2 and #3 endorsements, previously understood to include Glendon \u201cAnna Conda\u201d Hyde and Keys, is now in flux pending discussions with Walker.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Debra wants to do something, then that changes everything,\u201d Kim told FCJ yesterday.<\/p>\n
