Redmond Politics
A reader draws my attention to a new blog, "Redmond Politics", covering, um, Redmond Politics.
It starts with a rundown on the Redmond mayoral campaign.

1. Quite frankly, there's no good choices in the Redmond mayor race. In the last mayor race I had to hold my nose and vote for Rosemarie Ives because the other choice (Holly Plackett, an activist liberal) was even worse, and this time around, it looks like more of the same. In the primary I ended up voting for Robinson since he looked like the lest terrible of the three choices. Plackett lost in the primary this time around, which leaves Robinson and Marchione, neither of whom I'd vote for if there were anyone halfway competent running.
2. As the blog that provides "Sound Commentary on Current Events in Seattle, Puget Sound and Washington State" -- when are you going to comment on the series of Jane Hague issues (drunk driving, campaign finance improprieties, falsifying her resume')???
One can only think if a democratic member of the council did *these exact things* you'd be on story number XXXVIII talking about it.
Or is it really not about the issues (or character, or values)...but about partisanship after all?
3. Redmond is close, but wasn't it the curmudgeon and perpetual candidate and gadfly who brought the issue up? Maybe that is why. I heard Medved ridiculing the latest nitpicking from that nitpicker today.
4. That would suggest the facts take a back seat to the messenger? Hardly "sound commentary".
And, many would say if Medved brought something up, perhaps it's not worthy. That's just wrong on its face.
5. I only work there. It looks like it isn't staying a little town...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
