A Mayoral Forum in Whispered Asides and Heckling (Seattle Weekly)

Friends of Seattle is in the news.

Laura Onstot, "A Mayoral Forum in Whispered Asides and Heckling," Seattle Weekly (July 14, 2009)

There is a small group of younger political wonks that regularly attend candidate forums and at this point in the year, they've pretty much made up their minds. So they're starting to pay less and less attention to the candidates' answers. Thanks to that (and the availability of booze), nearly every answer at last night's Friends of Seattle forum at the Spitfire was greeted with a rustle of whispered asides and at one point, actual heckling.

There may have been more of that had Mayor Nickels been in attendance. He was at a meeting of mayors at the White House and represented by one of his advisors, Mike Mann (pictured far left), who wasn't allowed to speak unless he felt the mayor had been unfairly maligned in some way. Joe Mallahan also canceled citing a family emergency. Only Norman Sigler, Jan Drago, James Donaldson and Mike McGinn to faced the crowd in Belltown.
