National politics, what could possibly go wrong?


And, how in the world could national policies affect Pacifica?

All eyes are on Tampa, despite stormy weather delaying the start of the Republican convention.

So the request that Fix Pacifica focus on Pacifica issues meant nothing?

"Request for...Pacifica issues meant nothing.." Anonymous 11:31 AM. 2x my reply to you was submit the articles. That comment is done.

Thanks to your repeated comments on the Gaffe article, I felt a renewed obligation and inspiration to acknowledge a national election is actually happening. After all, many of the political policies that occur at a national level do affect Pacifica.

Our local elections, however, are non-partisan. And I hope we as Pacificans will have the good sense to vote for the best candidates who will actively improve our city. That includes an emphasis on actual economic development. Having some idea from the candidate of their plan to improve this city would be helpful.

Sorry the weather is the pits for this convention, but the Republicans seem to be managing. This article allows an opportunity for Republicans or anyone else to comment.
