King County voter turn out is only 20% right now http://www.king5.com/news/politics/low-voter-turnout-heading-into-election-day/489734877 I figure at least for Seattle, the whole mayor thing might be incentive to get out and vote. Maybe alot of people don't see big difference in Moon v Durken I guess? ugh.

During MNF last night there were several times where both port commissioner candidates had commercials running back-to-back. There's a LOT going into that race because it'll basically determine if the port becomes an oil terminal or not. Comparatively a lot of other races are laughers, and it doesn't necessarily skew conservative. The conservative mayoral candidate was on the ballot but had withdrawn from the race two months ago. One of the races for city council is between a sensible liberal and a lolbertarian who wants to institute a local currency based on precious metals. Pretty sure the liberal's gonna win.

From everything I can tell, she mainly ran for mayor to boost her Civic profile. Suddenly she gets a big newspaper endorsement and get second place. Then she realizes she has to campaign, and isn't very good at it.

In probably tonight's most important race in Washington (arguably the most important on the West Coast), Manka Dhinghra is beating Jinyoung Lee Englund 55-45 in early returns. if I had to choose one race to win, that would have been it. Given that Dhingra is the lefty, that bodes exceptionally well for her; later votes are unlikely to skew right, so we may very well finally have an actually Democratic majority in the Senate, assuming nobody Rodney Tom's them.

The Stranger is complete and total poo poo and folks in this area need to recognize that being sarcastic isn't a replacement for being actual journalists or otherwise taking the time to really understand local politics. They used to actually move voters but not anymore.

twodot posted:Does anyone think Oliver would have beaten Durkan though? I'd prefer Moon or Oliver over Durkan, but I don't see that Oliver had a path to victory that wasn't available to Moon. It would have been a different race especially given how easily Durkan liked to use Oliver as a prop. Lots more handwringing from people since I don't think Oliver would have been any less outspoken either. I think we would have witnessed a lot of really really gross poo poo from a lot of different corners of the city.

Like this isn't a dig on Oliver, Moon didn't either, I just don't understand someone saying the educator/attorney has more credentials than the urban planner/business manager. She had pro bono attorney work, she's actually set foot (and teaches) in Seattle public schools, and her community organizing, unlike Moon's, doesn't have any question of ulterior motives in my book. While Durkan still has more experience over both of them, Oliver's was enough to give her my vote over Durkan's, whereas Moon's was not.

I voted for Moon because she had concrete ideas instead of the buzzword laden political responses from Oliver like "we're taking a multifaceted approach to the housing crisis". Moon talked about real policy changes that would improve the housing situation like re-zoning and increasing the mandatory affordable housing laws/taxes for developers. Doesn't matter now but it would've been nice to have someone with practical ideas who doesn't turn every response into political drivel intended to make people feel good but doesn't actually say much. Also I don't see how a teacher/attorney is more qualified to run a city than an urban planner/engineer... ElCondemn fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Nov 8, 2017 |

Moon wasn't nearly aggressive enough. She should have had the Murray endorsement plastered everywhere, especially after Durkan was citing the McGinn endorsement incessantly.

I don't watch a lot of TV but my girlfriend does. She said Durkan ran a ton of attack ads on Moon that got kind of nasty. Moon could have easily done that, but I guess chalk that up to lack of experience, lack of funds or trying to be above attack ads. Oh well. Cary Moon got what she wanted, though. Everyone in Seattle knows who she is now.

The one ad I saw this season was Durkan saying that Moon saying she would stop sweeping homeless camps was anti-progressive. Imagine voting for the person who put out that bullshit.
