May 17 N in Seattle commented on Tim Burgess Quits the Mayor's Race.

@17:

Next to the 43rd, the 46th is the most liberal LD

Not.

For President, the 43rd and 37th were both 85.2% Obama, the 36th was 81.1%, and the 46th just edged out the 34th (77.5% to 76.6%).

You want to try Governor instead? In descending order, the Inslee percentage was: 37th=80.4%, 43rd=79.8%, 36th=73.7%, 46th=69.7%, 34th=69.1%. Same rank-order, same big gap between the top three and the next two.

I'd discount the 37th somewhat. Yes, their percentage was a whisper above the 43rd, but they have relatively low turnout (81%, versus 85%-88% in the rest of the city) and a much lower number of registered voters (only about 80K, while the 43rd and 46th are around 95K and the 36th edges over 100K).

So the Seattle LDs' "Democraticness" goes in the order (37th), 43rd, 36th, 46th, 34th.

May 17 N in Seattle commented on Tim Burgess Quits the Mayor's Race.

The finalists were always going to be McGinn and Burgess/Murray (whichever of the two got more votes).

Now it'll be McGinn against Murray.

May 17 N in Seattle commented on Dems from 46th District Endorse Murray, Steinbrueck.

The 43rd will hold its endorsement meeting on Tuesday of next week.

May 14 N in Seattle commented on Playing Russian Roulette With Your Online Social Presence.

The only reason I can see for opening a Facebook account would be to immediately delete it.

I think I'll just cut out the middleman, and remain FB-less.

May 14 N in Seattle commented on The Second Round of the NHL Playoffs Starts Today!.

Sticking with my Pens. Fleury has a history of these brief flurries (hah!) of bad net-minding, but then comes back into focus.

And just imagine if Neal gets back into scoring form. And if Geno recovers the scoring touch. And if ...

@4: The North Stars have been the Dallas Stars since 1993-94. The Wild were an expansion team, starting in 2000-01. Where have you been all this time?

@10:

I'll argue in support of Ray LaHood, outgoing Secretary of Transportation. That's former Representative LaHood, a whole lot more than just a show-Republican in the first-term Cabinet.

May 8 N in Seattle commented on The Customer Service Problem at McDonald's Is a Symptom of a Much Bigger Problem.

@42:

I was preparing to say something similar, except that I don't think Costco's human shareholders are exerting that pressure. It's the mutual fund managers, "investors", banksters, and The Street who constantly badger Costco.

They can't stand it that the company makes money hand over fist -- and makes money for its real-person shareholders -- while flouting their (mis)advice.

May 6 N in Seattle commented on David Stein Is David Cole, the Jewish Holocaust Revisionist.

On first glance, I read the headline as "David Stern is David Cole, ...".

What's strange is that I had only the slightest of double-takes before realizing that this had nothing to do with the NBA.

May 3 N in Seattle commented on Seattle's Invisible 28-Lane Freeway.

@6:

They love tax cuts more than highway lanes, but they love making King county pay for their infrastructure most of all.

Which King County wants to do. That's what the MVET would be.

But the Tompublicans won't let us do it. The county isn't asking for their money, just their approval of a way in which we can tax ourselves.
