  • Hutchison concedes

    Number of comments: 10

    Susan Hutchison has called Dow Constantine to concede the King County executive race. I guess she was neither professionally nor spiritually ready for the job.

  • Mallahan gains, Hutchison loses in latest ballot drop

    Number of comments: 10

    King County Elections just dropped the results from about 54,000 newly tallied ballots, about half the number we were expecting to be reported today. No word yet on what’s taking so long.

    In the King County Executive race, Dow Constantine now leads Susan Hutchison, 57.53% to 42.26%, a full one point [...]

  • Hutchison: “I blame the stupid voters.” (Or words to that effect)

    Number of comments: 10

    So how does Susan Hutchison explain her electoral ass-kicking at the steel-tipped boots of Dow Constantine? Apparently, the voters were confused

    She several times blamed “attack ads” taken out in the last weeks of the campaign, and “huge dumps of money coming in, for these false, misleading ads…The partisan issues [...]

  • Last night’s biggest loser

    Number of comments: 10

    Of course, Susan Hutchison lost big last night, as did Tim Eyman. And I suppose every candidate who didn’t come out on top probably feels that they lost big too. But I’d say the biggest loser last night was the Seattle Times editorial board, considering the woeful track record of [...]

  • McGinn wins

    Number of comments: 6

    A few days ago Joe Mallahan was that business guy who was about to become mayor after spending gobs of his own cash. Kinda Seattle’s version of Michael Bloomberg, but without all that Bloomberg money.

    But this morning Mallahan is just that business guy who spent gobs of his own cash. [...]

  • R-71 wins

    Number of comments: 10

    Of all the “too close to call” races this election, the easiest to call is R-71, which reaffirms the “Everything But Marriage” bill that passed the legislature last session.

    Election night results have the measure passing by a mere 2 percent of the vote, a margin well within the swing that [...]

  • Hutchison: “I believe in miracles!” (Or words to that effect)

    Number of comments: 10

    Susan Hutchison refused to concede the King County executive race last night, despite trailing Dow Constantine by a better than 14-point margin, because apparently the only poll that really counts was the one conducted by KING-5/SurveyUSA… on October 12.

    Told in an earlier interview that Dow Constantine had already declared [...]

  • Dear Mikes…

    Number of comments: 7

    Dear Mikes,

    Yeah, sure, I was kinda hard on the two of you during the primary (particularly Mike), but it’s the general election that counts, so no hard feelings, right? After all, I ultimately voted for both of you, and wrote about it (Mike and Mike), and really, what [...]

  • Riding to Win

    Number of comments: 10

    They snickered when Mike McGinn started off his campaign by showing up at cycling events with “MIKE BIKES” stickers. How quaint. He’s going after the funny-hats-and-clicky-shoes vote.

    It was a startlingly unconventional way to build a base, campaigning in a bike helmet and blazer. But McGinn knew something that cyclists have [...]

  • Leavitt leading in America’s Vancouver

    Number of comments: 2

    Real quick, it looks like America’s Vancouver may wind up with a new mayor.

    City Councilman Tim Leavitt held a 1,750 lead over incumbent Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard after initial ballots were counted Tuesday evening.

    With perhaps 7,000 ballots left to be tallied in the coming days, it may be some [...]

    Tim Eyman's government limiting I-1033, Nov. 2009

    Tim Eyman's government limiting I-960, Nov. 2007

    I’m going to spend a lot of time over the next few days talking about trends, and what that predicts for the handful of close races in today’s election, but the maps [...]
