Description | Bowing to a new political reality, San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales said Friday that he is taking ``very seriously'' a possible recall attempt spurred by his support of same-sex marriage rights, and is prepared to meet the challenge head-on.
``Unfortunately, when you are the target of a recall, you have no other alternative than to campaign against it,'' Gonzales said, in his first comments on the recall threat. ``I'm ready to campaign very hard.''
By going on the offensive Friday -- before his detractors have taken even the first legal steps toward recall -- Gonzales is doing exactly what he must in the wake of the successful October recall of former Gov. Gray Davis, political observers say. |
