Our own Ellis Conklin scooped everyone last week when he broke news that ACLU Washington’s Alison Holcomb was “seriously considering” taking on sitting Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant. The policy wonks of the Internet had some thoughts: “Holcomb could run against Sally Clark or another member of the city council’s right wing. You know, councilmembers with decades of ineffectiveness on ‘inequality and regressive taxes.’ ” —District3voter, via seattleweekly.com • “Alison is too divisive and un-self-aware to serve. It is impossible to perform well in public service when the only voice you hear is your own.” —Pinhead, via seattleweekly.com • “ ‘Right wing of the city council’ . . . ‘regressive members of the council’ . . . You Seattle people are hilarious.” —summitlaker, via seattleweekly.com
