Sources say Ed Lee leaning toward run for SF mayor

[RandySF]

It appears that Ed Lee has changed his mind.

San Francisco's mayor, who was appointed to the job after promising he would not seek election in November, is expected to announce sometime next week that he will run after all, sources told The Chronicle.

Such a move would leave more than enough time to meet the Aug. 12 deadline to file as a mayoral candidate.

Lee, 59, is visiting relatives in Washington state after seeing his two adult daughters last weekend in New York, where he discussed with them the implications of a run.
