Nolan-Fritz may go all summer
According to this poll, the Portland City Council race between Nurse Amanda and the Goldschmidt Party candidate is pretty much even. The closer they are to each other, the more likely that they'll be forced into a runoff. All told, there are five candidates on the ballot.
We don't like either of the leading contenders, and so rather than hold our nose and give one our vote, we are going with Bruce Altizer, who seems like a common-sense guy.
In the mayor's race, the pollsters say that phony baloney Jeffer-Sam Smith has wangled his way into a three-way tie, with Char-Lie Hales now running slightly behind Smith and Founder Brady. If Hales got eliminated in May, that would be quite humorous, but we still think it will be he against Brady in November. We are voting for Scott Fernandez, a far superior choice to any of the "Big 3."
What do readers think about where this is all heading? We're asking for your predictions, not your preferences:

I was weeding down by the mailbox Saturday, and there was a god-awful stench. Sniffing around, I determined that it was coming from the box. I figured that maybe my eccentric neighbor from across the street had mistaken it for a Sammy Slop-Bucket, so went up to the house, got the key, and unlocked the box. And there it was: a glossy missive from Nolan.
"If you wonder what Mary Nolan will do to Portland..." it began - no, wait, that's "for Portland". My bad. She can't even smile convincingly.

I tried to fill out my ballot this weekend. Just depressing. Couldn't decide among the terrible status quo choices and had to put it aside

Maybe medical marijuana would help with election pain?

Meh, Nolan will win, so I will vote for her
Who knows about the mayors race, Brady seems like an especially big loser though.
