The latest vote count showed McGinn 4,939 votes ahead of Mallahan. He more than doubled his lead from Friday, when he led by more than 2,384 votes.
At one point last week, 462 votes separated the two candidates and a recount seemed likely.
As Mallahan read his statement to the media at his Eastlake campaign office, McGinn spoke to a packed room at his headquarters in Southeast Seattle. Supporters cheered “We like Mike!” as McGinn entered to make a statement. More.

“Neuman also discussed McGinn’s Oct. 19 change in position on a deep-bore tunnel on the waterfront. After campaigning hard on a vow to stop the tunnel, McGinn responded to a City Council vote to move forward with the project by announcing he would not stand in its way, if elected.”
That’s not what he was saying this morning on the news.

I knew he rode a bike (sorta) but I didn’t realize how good he was at backpedaling.
Thanks for the link, Mark B.
I didn’t get any sense of backpedaling, beyond the realization that he may have overstepped the viaduct thing. Glad he backed off of that a bit.
But he does have a way of sporting that gray hair in a respectful way, even with the receding hairline. Gots the short beard. Maybe a belly.
I like him, for some reason.

Look at the description, you’re like a McGinn Mini Me. J/K
