David Curry, Marilyn Strickland's opponent in the Tacoma council race, is NOT a progressive. For a graduate of Kirkland's fundamentalist Northwest University he's pretty moderate, but still...

Hey Ari-
David Curry down in Tacoma is not progressive. He had no progressive endorsements and he I think his brother runs a big evangelical church, which is where most of his volunteers come from.

He does do good charity work, but don't mistake that for progressive politics.

Like i said, I haven't really been paying attention to the race. . .the Tacoma Tribune said the only difference was that Strickland was more for infrastructure. Stupid Tacoma Tribune. I'll change it.

Ari, if you're talking about the daily paper in Tacoma, it's the News Tribune.

If there's another publication in Tacoma calling itself the Tacoma Tribune, nevermind.

The News Tribune is only marginally to the left of Attila the Hun, so their idea of "progressive" basically means "would free the slaves and let womenfolks wear shoes."

@9: They're also to the left of the Seattle Times -- by a fair bit. I guess that means Tribune
