The moderates have the same dynamic. Theresa Sparks, the former president of the Police Commission, had all the early buzz. Sparks was married twice and fathered three children before undergoing sexual reassignment surgery and moving here to live as a transgender woman in 1997. She's an impressive public speaker and a well-connected political advocate in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community. So she may be a moderate, but it seemed pretty hard to attack her from the left. (Although Daly was able to manage it.)
