Yes, Dow is much scarier. He really does not want to be Executive He wants to be the second Mayor of Seattle. That is the only part of the county he cares about. Scarier than Hutchinson?

I do want to point out that if you like out side Seattle like i do Dow Constantine does bot care about you. He only cares about the part of the county within the city limits. We need a King County Executive not another Mayor of Seattle. I ahve no commet aboutg the Seattle races.

I also saw a poster where the phrase, "...don't let this agency decisions the future questions..." Decisions as a verb? AAARRRGHH! Don’t get me started – why can’t people get lose and loose correct?

The KC Executive one is pretty hard. Phillips and Constantine pretty much have the same ideas. But Phillips has the better TV ad :D Despite the good and bad things Nickels has done, it’s probably best to keep him in the seat for a couple more years, therefore reducing policy shifting and a Seattle-wide armageddon if another person (with different policies) was elected.

As it stands, if we endorsed Port candidates we'd basically be either guessing or parroting the endorsements of people we trust. I wish we understood the Port better.

We, of course, recommend Max Vekich (Pos 4) and Rob Holland (Pos 3) for the Port of Seattle. Vekich and Holland are not beholden to eastside developers and Pat Davis cronies. They want to protect industrial lands, improve transit options related to the airport and maritime port, and are focused on improving the Port's energy efficiency and pollution controls beyond the Port's current "whatever the tenants want" attitude.

And I'd love to give Richard Conlin my vote on Tuesday, but he's not on the ballot until November. Since only two candidates filed for his position, there's no need for a primary election vote. And isn't it Whom to vote for? (OK, I know, this is just a blog, no editors or anything like that. I'm just feeling snippy this morning, I guess) Uhm, it’s the August 18th primary.
