I do agree with the principle of instant runoff voting. It would be great in a field of four or five. But with a group of candidates this large, I fear that it will end up fragmenting the "anyone but Ed Lee" vote, and so Lee will *still* be elected by significantly less than a majority. It would have been nice to have a primary or some other kind of winnowing process, you know?
