A Thorough Recap of Seattle's 2009 Mayoral Primary Race

The average Seattleite, or Seattle Satellite-ite, does not have the luxury to follow local elections, especially local primary elections. Indeed the thought of reading a handful of editorials and perusing endorsements just to decide who the next mayor will be reeks of uni-tasking.

We can only digest our politics after it's been stripped down to its bear nutrients, whipped into an abstract puree, and given a name that is both topical and zany. Only thus served will it agree with our delicate and hyper-distracted minds.

So without further adieu, please enjoy this distillation of the 2009 Seattle Mayoral Primary Race : Also known as Mellifluous Mayoral Mayhem.

Note: The song is Funky Monkey Dance, from the Nintendo game Mother 3, popularized by Colin's Bear Animation.
