Politics Electionland: O'Brien and Rosencrantz Square Off Tomorrow

City council candidates Mike O'Brien and Robert Rosencrantz will make their appearance in the brutal cage match that is Electionland tomorrow from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. This one's been a battle—O'Brien's been criticized for supporting more road tolling, and fired back with an ethics complaint against Rosencrantz. Here are some of the questions already asked:

Here's one that goes after Rosencrantz, who has drawn fire from NARAL for his pro-life positions:

How can you justify representing Seattle when your views clash strongly with the views of the majority constituents?

And about those hiking utility rates, the centerpiece of an anti-O'Brien commercial in heavy rotation:

Mike O'Brien proposed a plan to reduce utility rates for the bottom 50% of electricity users, while increasing utility rates for people who use excessive electricity...You have been vehemently against this plan. How will Seattle benefit from your plan for maintaining higher utility rates?

Like the questions? Vote for 'em. Don't like the questions? Vote against 'em. And if you've got a question of your own that you don't see there, ask it. But whatever you do, you've only got 26 more hours to do it, so head over now!

Rosencrantz is anti-choice?

Wow. First time I heard of that.

Good think O'Brien is pro-choice.

Rosencrantz is NOT "pro-life."

Not that it should matter in a City Council race...

Mike's supporters need to STOP making statements like this. I think it's pathetic.
