Wow. This evening’s King County ballet drop has just made Seattle City Council Position 2 race much more interesting!
Socialist Kshama Sawant has just taken the lead over the formerly unbeatable Richard Conlin. The current tally is 79,751 votes (49.91%) for Sawant to 79,710 votes (49.88%) for Conlin. That’s a 14 41 vote edge for Sawant.
We still have some way to go (14 more days) until the election results must be certified by King County. If I am reading the spreadsheet correctly, 26,878 (or about 14.4%) of the ballots remain to be counted in this race. The trend has favored Sawant in the later ballots.

In your heart you know she’s right.
The current tally is 79,751 votes (49.91%) for Sawant to 79,710 votes (49.88%) for Conlin. That’s a 14 vote edge for Sawant.
That would be 41.

I voted for her and would like more of a left presence on the council but I still wish she wasn’t such a doctrinaire Trotskyite. A Bernie Sanders would be much better. But you go to an election with the socialist you have and not the socialist you want.
@3 $141 million for a frikkin’ painting? We as a race have our priorities seriously screwed up.
Stupid people and their money are soon parted.
Seattle…city of morons.
Um, Darryl, I think you meant statue…
@1, in your guts you know she’s nuts
@9 That’s a problem? Every Republican in the country is nuts.
