Ahead of the recall-Mayor-Bob-Filner campaign’s Sunday kickoff, Scott Lewis and Andrew Keatts explained on VOSD Radio why the effort is important to follow and outlined possible roadblocks. (Note: VOSD Radio records on Friday mornings.) They also reviewed:

• Liam Dillon’s attempts to figure out the mayor’s whereabouts;

• how Filner’s recall response compared with some of his own admissions; and

• a Fact Check of an Olympics claim Filner made in his recall response.
