Welcome back, Rob

Ever since all the decent candidates chickened out of the Sherill Huff coronation, I haven't felt a whole lot like blogging. That changed today, when I read that Robert Rosencrantz is running again for city council in Seattle. Rosencrantz is the personification of the type of public servant Seattle needs more of, i.e. a pragmatic, good-government liberal. He narrowly lost council primaries in 2003 and 2005, and while it's not yet known which council seat he is seeking, it is likely he will once again be a solid, credible candidate. Good to have you back, Rob.

Walk with Rosencrantz

I happened upon a neat thing the other day while visiting the campaign site of Seattle council candidate Robert Rosencrantz. He's putting together a grassroots campaign by taking walks through Seattle neighbourhoods to talk issues with residents and listen to ideas. Robert is a moderate-liberal who seeks to make Seattle more fiscally-responsible. This stands in stark contrast to his opponents, both left-wing Democrat partisans. It's time for a change from the status quo -- put an independent voice who hasn't lost touch with the public on the Council. I'd urge Seattle residents to periodically check the above link to see what's happening with his campaign walks.
