@14: True that Jamie didn't need the Stranger to win a close six way race by 229 votes. He won the Democratic primary (the only election that mattered) with only 23% of the vote. Which is to say that 77% of Democrats in his district preferred that someone else get the party's nomination. And that's among the more conservative voters who show up to primaries. If the Stranger had endorsed Jim Street instead of Stephanie Pure, I bet Street would have beaten Pedersen. Not that the Stranger is that influential. Just that the race was that close. As for Nickels now: no he doesn't need the Stranger's endorsement. But with poll numbers as low as his, he needs all the help he can get.

5. MAYOR GRIDLOCK -climbing the charts

6. MAYOR FIVEPENNIES

7. MAYOR McSLEAZE

9. MAYOR GREENWASH-new, with a bullet

10. MAYOR QUIMBY

All the names that are just too mean to such a nice fellow, like MAYOR McFATTY, MAYOR PORK, MAJOR PORK, MAYOR BIGMAC, etc. will not be included in the Top 10 names for HIS HONOR. This is Seattle, a nice city, after all.

We are monitoring the TIMES, P-I, Weakly, Strangler, Crosscut, Publicola, and a few blogs for the most mentions in comments from the citizenry.

Newest contenders:
MAYOR FAILure, MAYOR DISASTER, MAJOR DISASTER, MAYOR NOSALT, MAYOR NICKELBAGS, MAYOR KNUCKLEHEAD, MAYOR FUDD, MAYOR CHUMPCHANGE, MAYOR KNUCKLES, MAJOR NOPLOW, MAYOR 5-CENTS

And..................THE KING IS A FINK!

How could he win? But then, maybe he is fucking someone important and after all is liked by the oh so terrific Sierra Club.

Gosh, what a let down.

Feels like Nobody is running .... at least he was a legend of sorts.
