On election day someone mentioned it being a "sleepy election" - some said "boring".....
Newly re-elected Treasurer Jose Cisneros and City Attorney Dennis Herrera attended the famous " Bob McCarthy/Angelo Quaranta Election Day Lunch" which was held on a beautiful day at the Civic Center Holiday Inn .
"Bob McCarthy/Angelo Quaranta Awards" were given to State Senator Mark Leno, City Attorney Dennis Herrera and President of the Board David Chiu.
After the polls were closed Treasurer Jose Cisneros held his election night party at Lime Restaurant on Market Street followed by Election Night Party for City Attorney Dennis Herrera held at the Tosca Cafe in North Beach.
There were smiles, good food, drink - biggest conversation was the governor's race, Mayor Gavin Newsom and of course, the Maine election.
364 days until the 2010 election....
