A taste of the next mayor's diet

Posted Tue, Sep 29, 8:32 a.m.

I'm loving this McGinn guy more and more! McGinn doesn't appear to be gaining weight because he's accustomed to balancing family, work, and the pressures of life. And, he rides his bike, which has to help. He just seems so real - no artifice, no smoke and mirrors. More fakery ...

Mike McGinn comes out of the tunnel

Posted Fri, Sep 25, 9:20 a.m.

@loudquack First of all, let introduce some facts to the discussion instead of campaign polemic. The tunnel is fiscally irresponsible. We don't have the money. 1.3 Billion is unfunded. Another 570 million that we have no idea where we can even ge the money. Overruns on a project like historically ...

Mike McGinn comes out of the tunnel

Conviction politician? Pretty loaded word. In fact, it's Mallahan that's been saying that he's a "strong moral voice".

The Mayor's race: not making it easy for us undecideds

@713ygp Mallahan apparently did print 3,000 Obama shirts. http://www.seattlepi.com/connelly/407921_joel07.html Did he really sell them for a profit? And non-union? Got a source?

The Mayor's race: not making it easy for us undecideds

I see in McGinn the rare combination of a manager who is confident enough to lay out the strategy and let his people do their jobs, while at the same time using every nimble organizational tool available. You should see the internal planning tools and communication tools. Very slick and ...
