Joe Mallahan conceded the Seattle mayor’s race to Mike McGinn Monday evening, saying McGinn’s message seemed to resonate more than his with voters.

Another leftie to run Seattle, which has suffered under similar administrations.
I wish the citizens of Seattle the best of luck.

That’ll make the sour taste of defeat go down much better.
