Woo hoo! The taping is this afternoon, and Erica's going to be there, aiming to live-ish-tweet from @ericacbarnett.

So Ed Murray has served in office for nearly 20 years. Before that, he worked for the City Council. But he has calibrated his positions to match the Mayor's platform. Because McGinn has served in office for nearly 4 years, and in that time created a platform of positions that no one else could have, but only could have matched?

You folks are so in the tank you can't see over the sides.

McGinn is going to walk in there and start disagreeing with Murray about things. He's that divisive.

Ed Murray is riding that sweet gay marriage pony on his bid to become governor one day.

Watch for lots of talk about regional solutions and "collaboration" which is all talk for screw over Seattle enough to make the state electorate happy with Murray. The anti-mcginn campaign is as someone other than I put it "the best way to make Seattle a ward of the state"

I dislike McGinn as well, but he pisses off Conlin and Clark, so that's good enough for a vote.

You say negative like it's a bad thing. It's often the only way the truth is discovered in lovey dovey polite Seattle (*cough* jerk *cough cough*).

They're showing the debate tonight at Moe Bar for those of you without TV. I know I'll be there.

Thank god for 1080p HDTV with Picture in Picture, cause there's a Sounders game tonight too.

The first rule of #seamayor cider bingo club is drink when they flip flip or lie.

I recommend a full pitcher of cider, you'll need it.

Mr McGinn is an outsider alright, so much that he had no idea what he was doing and no idea how insulting his comments were to would be friends in Olympia.

@8 so where are those transit dollars Ed promised us?

On the back of a unicorn?

Or shoved into a coal train by his donors?

Murray has run a mostly negative campaign this year? Um, what? Calling your opponent "divisive", a claim which is widely supported among the city council and Seattle interest groups, is MUCH less of a negative hit than bringing up corporate donations every five minutes, the SDCC, implications of racism and support for coal trains, etc. I will say that Murray has been much vaguer on policy details than McGinn, but McGinn has clearly been more negative than Murray.
