in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

A political convention is often called “the Super Bowl” of politics, and that’s true in this respect: There are a sh*tload of reporters on hand around, and not that many storylines that are unique. Hence, the constant discussion of Melania Trump’s speech on Monday night. Donald Trump’s top campaign aide, Paul Manafort, said early Tuesday that the claims that the possible next First Lady in America had cribbed portions of Michelle Obama’s 2008 RNC was all about …..Hillary Clinton? “This…

HD 61 candidate Sean Shaw on guns, working with the GOP, and getting “The Talk”

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

The race for House District 61 has been rather cordial to date between attorney Sean Shaw, activist and businesswoman Dianne Hart and environmental engineer Walter Smith. That’s a far cry from two years ago, when Shaw engaged in an intense battle with Ed Narain.
