	I here in San Francisco find it borderline but maybe I just
do not clearly understand the way it is scored here in city elections
with some positions contested among many candidates.
	In Alaska I bet they are more conservative than San Francisco
and find this innovative system too radical for their taste.

	But since this is San Francisco radical is on the menu.
