That all said, McGinn has grown on me in the last three years despite any shortcomings. He at least has been receptive to citizen and civic feedback and has altered his approach over time. He's been supportive of the local arts and most of his policies have been useful and more good intentioned than those of the bicycle. (Also, somewhat unrelated, but he lost weight and got in better shape, and anyone demonstrating a commitment to self-improvement wins my respect.)

Now, if Ed Murray ran, I'd face a hard decision. But otherwise I'd probably vote for McGinn this time around... amazing given four years ago I loathed the man.

Things have changed, and now he has a slight chance.
Ron Sims- God no. Can you say incompetent hack? But he might just win if he ran, and be prepared for him fucking up the city as badly as he did the county.
Burgess-Don't think he's likely to win, and looks like a younger Slade Gorton

While I've only been paying attention since the Rice Administration, he and all of his successors have made screwing the working class over a full time job.

If it weren't for his handling of the SPD, McGinn would have my vote. Sure he made some mistakes in the beginning, but it seems like things are getting done now. But he screwed the pooch with the police thing. He should have invited the Feds in instead of siding with the police. He'd be a hero to much of the city if he had done that.

@76 this race wouldn't turn her into a one percenter because Socialist Alternative candidates only accept the wage of the average worker if elected. A mayor at a worker's wage, imagine that.

he's got a song and a minority endorsement

Burgess will run and probably make it through the primary and run against McGinn. Stienbreuck will run but will be defeated in the primary coming in a little behind McGinn. That's my prediction.

NO ONE will want or ask for the Seattle Times endorsement though

Holmes is indeed goodlooking, but he does not need to be Mayor. Only someone who needs to be Mayor (like Burgess) or just needs a job (like Nickels, Steinbrueck, Sims, and all the other retreads) is likely to run.


Posted by sarah70]]> Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:28:23 -0800 The Stranger Roberta Palm Bradley. Thank you. She was a fine woman who was done wrong.
Mayoral attractiveness? OMG, they're now all podgy and grey (as am I), so if I had to choose I would say Royer and Rice, but in the old days, not now! As for now? Nobody.
You just go ahead and lust after McGinn.

#2 choice: Mayor Nickels. Bring him back. He knew what he was doing and I trust him to care about working-class residents more than any of the upwardly-mobile councilmembers. He's not perfect but at least he thinks big.
Posted by Lack Thereof]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:14:28 -0800 The Stranger Certainly the best looking Mayor we've had in my memory

Another reason to vote for handsome and suave Pete Holmes.

Roberta Palm Bradley is the lady you are thinking of, and I am in total agreement with you on that one.

As for McGinn and attractiveness, it's a rather limited bunch, isn't it? If you had to choose between Uhlman, Royer, Rice, Schell, Nickels or McGinn, who would you choose?
