New Seattle Mayor McGinn immediately begins kissing Paul Allen's ass

"Outsider" they call him. "Underdog." He biked to work once.

Attacking right wing Republican lunatics is easy, but it's much more pleasurable to call out faux leftists who use the slick PR resources of folks on a billionaire's payroll to guide them, gently, into office. A kind, gentle insertion - painless, for now. Oh man, I'm gonna have a good time calling Mike McGinn out on his hypocrisy in the coming years.

Band of advocates, activists now McGinn's likely insider - Seattle Times 11-13-200

"David Postman, a spokesman for the Vulcan real-estate development company, which did not make an endorsement in the general election, is advising McGinn on media relations during the transition"

From comments thread:

"Well at least we have Dave Postman, Spokesman for Vulcan advising McGinn on Media relations. Wheew! dodged a bullet there. McGinn might have released something that wasn't Paul Allen approved."
