The San Francisco Examiner reports that this week's annual holiday dinner for the San Francisco Republican Alliance (if you're wondering: 13 percent of SF voters are registered GOP) was flashmobbed by a last-minute cellphone campaign to hack the event's straw poll vote on the 2008 Presidential campaign in favor of libertarian-friendly candidate Ron Paul. SFRA president Gail Neira cancelled the poll after "they started showing up with signs, buttons — it was a like a mob. I don't believe in stacking the deck." Welcome to San Francisco. If it's a left-leaning mob, it's a smartmob. If it's a right-leaning smartmob, it's a mob.
