Some of you worldly commenters best get over to the PI: there’s some out of touch loser over there ranting about the “power structure” and whatnot:

“That brings us back to McGinn, who has run an effective insurgent campaign with very little money. If the business and labor crowd currently plotting against him fails, and McGinn is elected mayor, they should be afraid. Because he won’t owe them anything.”

McGinn is a different sort of animal to most politicians. He reminds me of Charlie Chong. Not necessarily on issues, though he seems to be a physical conservative, but because he is so different than the rest of the seattle political elite.

Okay T.U., I get your point: All politicians are exactly the same. Thanks for the helpful analysis.

Oh Dan, I had hoped you wouldn’t go there. Hopefully the point wasn’t lost on everyone who reads this crap (apparently it was with you, though). The point being: THEY’RE POLITICIANS AND ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE TO ANSWER TO. And I ain’t talkin’ ’bout the ‘merican people.

You’re continued insistence that McGinn is “less beholden to the powerful few and thereby more beholden to the general public”, flies in the face of history, facts, and politics (the P.I. article exposes his ties – you can’t deny it). Just as Nickels and Mallahan are tied to the “powerful few”, so is McGinn.

It’s okay, though, McGinn’s different…for sure.

McGinn/Great City = Cheney/Halliburton. You’re a hoot, T.U.@17. You and Poop should get together and discuss.

Right, Dan. And Dick Cheney left Halliburton to be the vice-president. Try again.

T.U. @15: Great City isn’t running for mayor. McGinn left Great City to run.

Did you read the Publicola piece?

“Interestingly, most of the companies that funded McGinn’s group have also been staunch political and financial supporters of lame-duck Mayor Greg Nickels, and very few have given to McGinn.”

Try again, Dan:

Publicola: McGinn’s Great City funded by biz establishment

“Publicola has a piece about the ties mayoral candidate Michael McGinn’s advocacy group Great City has to business interests like Vulcan and Harbor Properties.”
