Seattle Avalanche Sweeps Mayor From Office

Good for you, voters.

I say DUMP ALL INCUMBENTS, each and every one, no matter who they are.

A MESSAGE must be SENT!!!!


"Seattle’s mayor concedes defeat in primary battle" by Gene Johnson, Associated Press | August 22, 2009

SEATTLE - Mayor Greg Nickels conceded defeat yesterday in his bid for a third term, failing to advance past the primary after getting battered for his bungling of December snowstorms that paralyzed the city....

In Seattle?

On environmental issues, Nickels helped persuade nearly 1,000 mayors around the country to abide by the standards of the Kyoto Protocol on global warming.

Yeah.

But more prosaic issues made him less popular at home, including the Seattle SuperSonics’ move to Oklahoma City, the city’s response to the December snowstorms and his support for a multibillion-dollar downtown tunnel, which would replace a crumbling elevated highway along the city’s waterfront.

Yeah, he let the loser basketball team leave, that hurt 'em. Pffft!

And I see he had his OWN BIG DIG, huh? That's why he goin' bye!
