Slog - Comments on Manning's In http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/hoo_boy John Manning (previous coverage here, here, here, and here, for those who don't remember who he is) is in the running for the seat Peter Steinbrueck is vacating this year. (My story about the other two contenders, Bruce Harrell and Venus Velazquez, is here.)...

Manning is not Boy. Ex-cop black guy, sure.

Yes, flawed wife beater, and a dead duck in all politics, but not Boy.

"Boy" doesn't refer to Manning. "Hoo, boy" was my reaction when I heard the news, and is something I say a lot. Manning's race did not occur to me in any way when I wrote the title.

Barnett isn't calling Manning a "Boy." She's saying "Hoo, boy" ... an expression that means ... I don't know: "oy vey" or "wow" or "holy moly" ...

It's obviously her reaction to the news that Manning, who has serious controversial baggage, threw his hat in the ring.

My plate's clean how bout yours?

Only Manning could have lost to Compton after Strippergate. What race will he give to an undeserving incumbent this time?

Frued @ 8 - he wasn't accused of rape - he was convicted of (as I remember it) grabbing and throwing his then-wife across the room or something like that during a fight.

Manning is way delusional to keep running, and domestic violence is hideous, but it's not rape.

I was referring to the charge of forced entry. I think it involved a screen door at his then estranged wife's home.

Anything else in your mind. But that is also telling.

Also if you read the post above Manning is running for an "Open Seat" so there is no incumbent.

Tell me. What do you think of when I say "Open Seat"?

Is that a case of getting what one deserves?

Indeed, they did, and without that much reluctance. What's with the about-face on the guy?

Manning has as much chance as me. ZERO.

Here are some people I would like to see run for city council:

Joe Martin
Johny Fox
Sue Taoka
Judy Nicastro's mom
Bob Santos
Cindy Domingo
Heidi Wills
Paula Moran
Sharon Tomiko Santos
James Kelly
Sergio Salinas

As well as more folks from labor and other communities. I dont know any enviros, but maybe some of them.

A mix of centrists and progressives and yes more people of color, if this council was any whiter this city could be mistaken for Portland Maine.


Councilmembers I want to keep:

Licata
Steinbruck
Conlin
