According to poetically licensed Time, some harbor seals popped their heads above the surface of the Bay to see what was going on and then (as if on cue) added their barks to the cheers of the throng.

After his primary victory, Sinclair looked like a shoo-in to beat the Republican incumbent, Frank Merriam, a political hack slightly to the right of Herbert Hoover.
Despite his woefully underfinanced campaign, he drew 900,000 votes to Merriam's 1.1 million in the general election.
Now, instead of detailed plans, and a clear vision for the state's future, we get a comic-book campaign, complete with action hero and fan base, a campaign dumbed down for an electorate already softened up by decades of simplistic, morning-in-America imagery.
