Dominic highlights endorsements made by a right winger over at Sound Politics.
This reminds me of my way-back days at horsesass.org, when I wrote this about Sound Politics and the endorsements of the blog's founder (and former Stranger contributor) Stefan Sharkansky:
One big piece of advice to anyone running for city council:
Don’t let Stefan endorse you. Don’t email him campaign updates. Hope he doesn’t write about your campaign in any way favorable. Make no mistake, Stefan is the “Kiss of Death”. Just ask Robert Rosencrantz and Casey Corr, who both got hammered (Rosencrantz twice!) in city races. I’m amazed that Seattle’s preeminent wingnut blogger doesn’t understand how radioactive he is.
Sharkansky later endorsed Bruce Harrell, who—thanks to his opponent's car-related incident—coasted to victory.
Does Harrell prove that Sound Politics is no longer the "kiss of death"? Maybe. But Harrell's victory was more the result of a mistake by his opponent. A Rosencrantz victory won't be tagged with an asterisk, but he should take note:
Mike O'Brien rides a bike. Everywhere.
