After giving the Web a good shake, I’ve only found two endorsement lists worth your attention and in line with the needs and culture of Capitol Hill.

The Stranger endorsements
If you feel it’s too easy to ape the cool kids, get over it. There isn’t a single Stranger choice — except an ill-advised joke endorsement — that isn’t valid for the Hill. Sorry, Aaron Dixon. Shame that Savage and crew had to be dicks and fuck around by endorsing Hugh Foskett over Jamie Pedersen. Ha ha. Looking to get involved in “getting out the vote” in an alternative, probably way more effective way than knocking on doors and bugging people? Print The Stranger’s 2006 cheat sheet and hand out copies wherever you roam on Nov. 7. Wear this downloadable Dan Savage mask while you do so for maximum effectiveness.

Washington State Labor Council endorsements
For a second opinion and a counterbalance to make sure you’re not floating too high on the loopy liberal cloud cover in the city, go ask Labor who they like.

While I’m at it, let me throw extra weight behind County Prop 2 for expanded bus service and City Prop 1 for road and bridge maintenance cash. As a neighborhood with many commuters, we should be all for improved transportation solutions.
