Dan Ryan, Campaign Slut

I noted recently that election porn mailers coming in from Portland City Council candidates now feature two-fers: two candidates on the same flyer. But today I see they've expanded to the ménage à trois:

I hope his other girlfriend doesn't find out!

In the same day's mail.

Like the man said, "Better go home, son, and make up your mind."

  1. I wonder if these three gave $5 campaign contributions to each other so that each would qualify for matching funds? Didn't the "charter reform" commission promise us that candidates wouldn't run in "slates"?

    Inquiring minds want to know...

    1. These are nonpartisan elections. How many candidates does it take to make a party?

  2. Under RCV (as far as you’ve explained it), if you can get 4 ppl to run in a slate, the odds are in the 4’s favor that at least one of them will be elected.

    AFAIK, 3 in a slate just lessens the odds that one of them will be elected.

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
