Conlin was probably just there on the way to meet with some CEO types. His voting record has always been strictly pro-1%...they're the only ones who benefit from privileging roads before transit.

Sawant is the candidate for people who actually have to work for a living in that district.

Go to http:srd.n-theory.com to view a Q&A with Steinbrueck, McGinn, Harrell and Murray about their thoughts on issues surrounding socially responsible development. To date, some of the most thorough responses I have read anywhere about these issues.

#109...why does Steinbreuck back buses instead of light rail? Buses are a far less "green" approach to the transit issue.

We eastsiders need you! Please expand your voters guide to include east-side races!

Please?

My dirty little secret: I've been voting straight SECB for 13 consecutive years. Why think when you think for me! (it's true but in more seriousness I love the time and effort you put into writing up the reasons for your choices).

I hope Sawant actually wins so that she can see how completely worthless she actually is.

"Hey everybody! I have an idea! Let's double the price of everything!"

Wait for it..

The kicker is that the vast majority of you were ever able to figure out what it is you can do.

But, I mean, associating yourself with 99% of the murderers and rapists out there must feel nice.

Starve til you eat Drano.

Your posts read as though you'd just taken a mental laxative. Feel better now?

I don't see any School Board position on my ballot. I live in Seattle. Do I have a messed up ballot?
123
I have to work with the City of Seattle for my job, and I can tell you that McGinn's actions toward one of its sister cities nearly destroyed the decades-long relationship. (He outright lied to our office, and we caught him in it.) Trying to get anything done with his office, when it comes to international relations, is a joke. There is more to the world than Seattle, and he needs to realize it, especially in this era of globalization.
124
Which sister city relationship was that? And who would, in your view, be better at dealing with the rest of the world than McGinn?

It's hard to believe that any of the candidates to his right would be an improvement on that score.
125
122: Because you don't live in a school board district that has a contested seat. School board is weird--primary is district, general is at-large (city wide).

124: You are dyslexic -- McGinn is not to the left of anyone in the race except maybe Staadecker. Neo-liberal is not "left." Staadecker, Harrell or Steinbrueck for three would be better than McGinn at dealing with the rest of the world. Diplomacy is not a hallmark of Mr. "my way or I'll treat you rudely" Mike.
126
where's the link for if you left your ballot at home? Can't find anything on the damn Washington State election site.
127
Don't forget:if Seattle were in Europe,then it'd probably have twice as many city-council seats! (for less-unfair proportional representation - according to locale and its relationship to race,class,and political standing - than it currently has). And why the fuck doesn't the ACLU of Seattle refuse to co-sue the City of Seattle to eliminate the anti-Voting-Rights-Act at-large process?(Other ACLUs - such as in California,Texass,and Wyoming, have done so:and they all succeeded!) --- http://www.aclu.org , http://www.seattledistrictsnow.org , http://www.justice.gov

Will The Stranger be live-blogging the results? If so, how soon?

Mallahans clan hunted me & my son down to silence us so he could run for Mayor of seattle 2009. I have hard copy of factual data I would like to share. The details of how much power was weilded at a mother & son so Mallahans could access votes is astounding.

    Please wait...
