She'd be fighting nonstop with the council, a staff that is heavily stacked with Seattle-based democrats and a state government that has pretty much shut out republican county execs for the past 5+ years.
What we need more than anything to prove to the Eastside that they're voting wrong, is to have an ineffective talking head GOPer in the exec's office. Seattle has long been screwed over by the exec and Dow looked like he would continue that trend... but Suzie? Yeah, she will make the fact of King County's disdain for Seattle even more clear, but she will give a bonus in that she just proves to the Eastside that Luke Esser and Kemper Freeman's sadsack GOParade is a disaster.
Reform the WA State GOP already.
right?
Skewering the opponent ≠ endorsing a candidate. Please make a note of it.
That being said: Get your abortions now and enjoy what bus service that we still have: it's gone in less than a year.
And BTW, this election was Dow's to win or loose and he is losing it. Make a note of it.
the times endorsing her is not a shocker.
Dow is sinkinggggggg.
I like him and voted for him - but - some of us warned she was not to be taken lightly.
Seattle will not bail Dow out... low turnout predicted.
The days of big-ticket projects and budgets are finished. The time is perfect for a political outsider to shake things up.
She was able to claim that she had all the new ideas, that all he had was attacks against her friends...
It's shades of Kerry v. Bush.
Took me about three minutes, and only a few repeated "no" answers.
Hutchinson will use this economic crisis to push through a very right wing anti-government program that will hand out tax breaks to business interests and radically slash any and all public programs. Mark my works: I'm not kidding when I say enjoy what Metro service you have now, get ready to have several county libraries closed for good, and say bye bye to public health clinics.
The Republicans are committed to killing ALL social services no matter what and allowing it all to be fully privatized.
Mallahan/Hutchison 09!
They both get big support from the usual GOP suspects, both have stacked their decks with conservative advisers and both enjoy round endorsement from the anti-city types. They're also big on pro-corporate and insider-heavy favoritism.
Of course, Hutchison would be more keen to sit around all day thinking about reasons to dismiss any liberal social programs. Riding buses leads to close contact with people, close contact with people leads to pregnancy, pregnancy leads to possible abortions! Ban buses!
It's a race!
Cause Obama is using this economic crisis to push through radical left wing big government socialist programs that will hand out taxpayer money to various left wing interest groups.

If your friends or family read the Seattle Times, treat them exactly the same as if they watch Fox News.
He has not done crap for Dow.
His horse was Phillips.
Fire Dwight!
LUVZ IT!!
You're Bill Yearous, CIO at the Seattle Times, right? If you're not Bill Yearous, you're some other Times middle manager, right? Because only a Times middle manager could defend that fucked-up company amd its fucked-up ownership as much as I have seen you do.
I would be happy to read the only local newspaper .... if it were worth reading.
Don't blame us for your shoddy product.

They may not be consistent, but they piss off the Left as often as the Right.
So why is a newspaper endorsement, made by a publisher and a small editorial board, reason to disregard the work of a couple hundred other professional journalists who have nothing to do with it? And besides, who other than Fox News watchers and, apparently, some Stranger readers, demand that their news providers see the world exactly as they do?
Also, she presents very well except for policy.
And she had locked up women and the Eastside.
Dow has the blue haze hispsters that hang on the Hill - after all - he was in a band once.
Stranger attacks on Susan may have helped her in her base - like when all the foul mouth bloggers supported poor little nobody Darcy.
Just voted for Dow, but, she is increasing her lead as we speak. He has zero momentum.
Personally, I think it will be funny if they elect that horrible woman to the Executive post. I can't wait until she has her first public meltdown. After all, she's the lowest rung of celebrity, not a politician. She's used to be treated special in a way that politicians aren't.
If elected, I predict she will be largely ignored and worked around until she gets with the program. Either that, or she'll end up resigning to spend more time with her family.
