Politics King County Democrats Endorsements
Posted by Dominic Holden on Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 10:03 PM
A two-thirds majority is required for the King County Democrats to endorse in a race. Here's how they voted tonight:
Mayor: No endorsement
My Take: That says it all about this year's mayoral crop, don't it?
City Attorney: Peter Holmes
My Take: Nobody likes Tom Carr.
State Initiative 1033: No.
My Take: Tim Eyman is a swollen douchebag and liberals in King County know it.
Seattle School Board, District 5: Mary Bass
My take: Mary Bass is lovely, even though she can sit on the lonely side of school-board votes.
City Council, Position 2 (held by Richard Conlin): Richard Conlin and David Ginsberg
My Take: Conlin's a slam dunk.
City Council, Position 4 (being vacated by Jan Drago): David Bloom and Dorsol Plants
My Take: Sally Bagshaw will cream both of these guys.
City Council, Position 6: Nick Licata, incumbent
My Take: Burn on Kaplan, the business candidate.
City Council, Position 8 (being vacated by Richard McIver): David Miller and Bobby Forch
My Take: Anyone's game.
County Executive: Larry Phillips and Dow Constantine
My Take: Really, King County Dems? I mean, Jesus, pick one of them, get behind him, and kick Susan Hutchison's ass already.

Thanks, Dominic. Since we're making predictions...
Conlin, Bagshaw, Licata (Israel would be my sleeper pick, though), and Forch will be City Council winners.
Nickels will be reelected, and Phillips will pull out ahead for KCE (though I'm pulling for Dow to prove me wrong.)

I try not to drunk slog... I really do, but come on. Get behind Dow! It's more important than the Mayor's office. Support the Hill. Support Dow now!
Larry is a dud. sorry.
Larry is a dud. sorry.

Instead of "get behind one already" let's start saying what we're all thinking: "get behind Dow already." Larry's boat is sinking fast.

It was fun voting at KCDCC Endorsements and killing the Bag Tax endorsement.
Mayor: No endorsement
My Take: Actually, this was due to two strong candidates, and Greg Nickels wasn't one of them. When I tried to give them a choice with Drago added, it got even FEWER votes.
City Attorney: Peter Holmes
My Take: Duh.
State Initiative 1033: No.
My Take: Tim Eyman is a dick. Plus this was a slate vote.
Seattle School Board, District 5: Mary Bass
My take: We loves her.
City Council, Position 2 (held by Richard Conlin): Richard Conlin and David Ginsberg
My Take: Not getting a sole endorsement as an incumbent is NOT good news.
City Council, Position 4 (being vacated by Jan Drago): David Bloom and Dorsol Plants
My Take: Two strong choices.
City Council, Position 6: Nick Licata, incumbent
My Take: Kaplan wasn't even in the running - Jesse should have run for a different seat.
City Council, Position 8 (being vacated by Richard McIver): David Miller and Bobby Forch
My Take: Good question.
County Executive: Larry Phillips and Dow Constantine
My Take: Two strong Dems that people should vote for. Tell Susan to run for Sheriff, where all good republicants go.

My Take
Will in Seattle gets it, even if I don't like many of hte endorsements. Will should be covering politics for the Stranger because Dominic's report could have been written from a cave by picking a name here and a typical phrase there.

Although there's talk that the Nickels camp has been strong-arming people to support him, the message was clear that people are not happy with him. Most of the people who voted in favor of Nickels were from non-Seattle districts.
The vote for a dual endorsement of McGinn and Mallahan looked like it had the chance of winning.
Nobody moved for a sole or dual endorsement involving Drago (Will, I believe you were the only one to vote for your proposed 3-way).
Donaldson arrived at around 9pm, long after they'd moved on to other races, which was so odd. I mean, you're either there when they vote for your race, or you're not (and you send a city--er--campaign staffer like Viet Shelton to beg for some supporters). Donaldson's very late arrival seemed pointless.

Some other thoughts:
Position 6: I personally think that while Nick's values line up with the old guard Seattle progressives, he certainly deserves a challenger. A lot of voters, particularly younger ones, feel like his values aren't enough--he needs to do more with them than just opposing the Mayor or council leadership. But Nick's obviously a popular guy with some voters. It's fine for people to say that they wish Jessie had chosen to run for a different position, but could they do it with a less sexist tone? I kept waiting to see one of the speakers pat Jessie on the head, tell her she looks cute tonight, and reassure her that she'll grow up to be a good politician.
Seattle v. non-Seattle Districts: The rules of the KCDCC allow for all voting members of the exec committee to vote in endorsements. Members from Seattle districts vote on races outside of Seattle. That's fine. I appreciate the non-Seattlites who are well-informed and could intelligently explain why they were supporting/opposing a mayoral candidate. But for those of you who aren't so well-informed--when the chair of a Seattle LD explains why the district supported a candidate, I'd appreciate it if you didn't summarily dismiss their opinions. Just because you're older, live in Bellevue and don't fully understand the issues facing Seattle, doesn't mean that the Seattle LDs opinions should be dismissed.
To the Voting Members, particularly the women who reminded me of Statler and Waldorf (the Muppet balcony guys):
A. Please, pay attention and be informed. Some of you were an embarrassment. There were the people who never knew what they were voting on, because they were either sleeping, couldn't hear, or just drifted off into a fantasy involving Drago and Sigler. "Huh? What are we voting on? Should I vote yes or no?"
B. Then there were the people who kept saying "I just don't feel like I know anything about these candidates. I'll just follow XXX's vote." Really? I know that we didn't get candidate speeches tonight, but have you had your head in the ground over the last few months? I mean, you are all active members of your LD, and these candidates have been working the LD meetings for months.There have been candidate forums all over the county. And it's not as if this meeting was a surprise, last-minute kind of thing. Every candidate's questionnaire is posted to the KCDCC website. Spend a few minutes reading up before you come to the meeting.
C. "Anybody could run for mayor. Heck, after tonight, I'm thinking maybe I should run for Mayor of Seattle." Actually, you'd have a problem with that, considering you live in Bellevue. What a loss ofr our fine city.
D. You have all been CHOSEN by your LDs to serve on this committee. Try to remember that.
To the folks who put on tonight's meeting, excellent job. I appreciate all of the work that went into it, and especially enjoyed the ice cream sundae.

Jessie Israel, in a long conversation with me, insisted that challenging Nick Licata had been her decision and not that of her consultant, Cathy Allen, whose MO over the years has been to have her women clients challenge incumbent liberal Democratic males, playing the gender card all the way down the line.
Even if I take Jessie at her word, her campaign has been classic Cathy Allen -- and it's tanking. She has been trying -- with a marked lack of success -- to paint Nick as an obstructionist, and as an exemplar of numbing, strangling "Seattle process."
Voters who pay attention are not buying it. They know that Nick has often been a lone voice -- but a voice for fiscal responsibility and for what people call "progressive" values. Nick hasn't exactly been a fan of handing the city over to rich developers -- as no one should be.
Jessie might have a bright future, but she needs to quit playing the gender card and the youth card, and to hire some better help. The arguments in her favor last night were lame beyond belief.

So, the KC democrats endorsed 11 people, 10 of them men. The only woman they endorsed was for the position that is traditionally women's work (school board).
It's obvious that women and minorities have a more difficult road to elected office - how do you get elected if the old white men in charge of city/county government hire, promote, and endorse other old white men?
Even if she was an old white man, I would think Jessie Israel is the best candidate (she has contemporary priorities - supporting those in need through proven methods and creating walkable/bikeable communities).
I still think it's very justified to give affirmative action votes, though. I'm sick of the ruling class that represents 34% of Seattle (white men) keeping the other 66% out of any sort of power.

Lizzie--the city of Seattle is about the most favorable place in the USA for women to run. As we discussed before, they didn't file!
If they don't file, it's not men's fault. "O htere's this pervasive air o sxism in the homeplace that keeps women down" well get a clue you gotta just freaking file and run anyway, amiga.
Sometimes you have to conclude a disparate outcome is not evidence of discrimination. Like in the gender differential of homicide convictions for example: men commit murder more often, so it's not evidence of discrimination against men. Same with the differential in filing this year in Seattle: if da wymens didn't file, it's not evidence of discrimination against women, it's evidence they didn't choose to file.
And btw Jesse Israel went around saying we have too many 8-1 votes suggesting if elected she would be different than Nick and would join the 8 and bootlick the Downtown Power Establihsment and Paul Allen lkike the rest of them.
who needs that crap?
You don't make a case based on the issues. The only issues you mention are "supporting those in need through proven methods and creating walkable/bikeable communities)" -- well lizzie, excuse the fuck out of me but Nick Licata is the strongest voice on the council for supporting walkable and bikable, all the others are lapping at crumbs off the table by supporting the $200 million Mercer boondoggle to benefit Paul Allen and the $8 billion auto oriented bored tunnel (coincidentally linking the allen stadiums to the allen s.l.u.!)
These capital projects that are 90% auto oriented will drain all the money from walkable and bikable improvements.
And on "supporting those in need through proven methods" what is exactly is your case against Licata? He's the one on the council who consistently asks the financial questions that prove that others' proposals don't work and are boondoggles for the rich.
When I see a post like yours, an ardent supporter of someone like Israel, devoid of any actual policy except a generic gender attack on the establishment as a whole -- that is, on people OTHER THAN NICK LICATA -- my conclusion is the candidacy of Israel is jejeune.
If you have a policy case to make, by all means, let's hear it. And btw it would be nice if were a case against LICATA instead of sexism in general. Unless you're accusing Nick Licata of being sexist -- are you?

Why are the King County Democrats endorsing city positions? I don't give a shit who a dude from Auburn thinks should be Seattle's City Attorney.
17
I was at Kaplan's event last night at the request of a friend, and I think he's legit. There was some big names and, presumably big dollars in the room - which was packed. Seems like a real nice guy.
18
Doug: if you don't like the rules
1. go to your local democratic district organization.
2. join and fucking pay some dues.
3. vote on the representatives to the king county democrats
4. tell them you want them to change the rules.
Waaaaaaa democracy takes time waaaaaaaaa
You do realize, don't you, that the rules also let the Seattle folks vote on candidates in Auburn? You have a legitimate point -- go tell it to your representatives.
And if you don't want to take time, call up your PCO. do you know who that is? he or she is supposed to represent you in these things.

Oh wow big names and big dollars. EXACTLY what we need more of in local politics. Thanks for the info!

@16 - because otherwise you wouldn't know their opponents are Republicans running in stealth mode, the lying pieces of shiite.
22
The fact that Will in Seattle is an active participant goes a long ways towards explaining why KC and Seattle Dems are so ineffectual. None of the effective people in the area would stay at any meeting where WiS is permitted to speak. Kind of a Seattle problem generally; the Stan Lippmans drive out the rational people.
24
@ 22:
We're ineffectual? what bullshit. We get out the vote, do you deny it? Will in Seattle can be a pain in the ass at times, Fnarf, but he shows up and works for the ticket. One of him is worth ten lazy pontificating shits like you.

From www.jessieisrael.com under 'Meet Jessie', titled 'About Jessie'.
"In the 1990's as a consultant, Jessie worked with neighborhood planning groups to establish the Central Area, Eastlake, Denny Triangle, Wallingford neighborhood plans."
"She has a BA in Political Science from Seattle University in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. "
Aside from the bad web site navigation design (title of page not matching link), the ignorance of the borders of the very Central Area she purports to have helped plan turned me into an anti-Jessie person immediately. Having a whole area of town used for resume building and then dissed thus...the airheaded presentation she made at the 37th was the last straw, after which the group stopped giving a few minutes to candidates who happened to show up.
Sure, I'd like to see more quality women running. What we've gotten lately by voting for candidates because they are female has been pretty bad IMO.
Worse to me is that the African American candidates, who have some good stuff to say, did not have the kind of resources and candidate development help behind them to get their message and names out early. For example, I sure hope Bobby Forch shows up again if he doesn't win this time.
More generally, It seems to me that folks need to broaden the characteristics of groups like IDF and Wellstone - hint hint.

@25--when you talk about the "ignorance of the borders" of the Central Area, are you referring to the fact that she describes SU as being in the Capitol Hill neighborhood? Because that's pretty nipicky. It's within the Central Area Neighborhood Plan boundaries, but I hear people say it's in the Capitol Hill or First Hill neighborhood all the time. Hell, even SU describes itself as being located in First Hill (which has its own Neighborhood Plan).
I thought her presentation at the 37th was good, and don't remember any formal decision to not let candidates speak.
And your reference to IDF and Wellstone--not a lot of people are going to get that reference, and it's not clear to me what you mean about "broaden(ing) the characteristics" of those groups.

Don't you mean, "Mary Bass is lovely, BECAUSE she sits on the lonely side of school-board votes"? Without her,and Martin-Morris, the SB would usually rubber stamp Heartless Bitch's dicta.
28
They need to get behind Dow! It's clear that he's the one who can stand up to Susan Hutchison. He's the most passionate Democrat in the field, and we all should support him.
