San Francisco General Election 2008

This ballot is absurd--6 individual representatives, another group for two school boards, 12 state initiatives, and 22 city ones; some number of each of those came from the legislators (aka supervisors in the city, or the mayor there) and some from the people.

Here's my half hearted attempt to figure them out. I'll probably vote tomorrow (one day early) or on Tuesday (voting day).

Here are some useful guides:
The Kate Slate - by someone who's put a lot of effort into it
The League of Young Voters Guide - a little off handed and under informed, but somewhat useful
League of Women Voters guide - a succinct version of the official guide (does't make recommendations)
ACLU recs on a few propositions.

My likely votes are in the full entry.
