Scrapebaggers.

Last nights city council election, complete with Teabagger party protest and kookiness, is the beginning of election season in Boulder. Despite the property protesters, Progressive Boulder liberal council will pass a strong tough pop and scrape ordinance. The crazyness of the developer protests, is that like the teabaggers, this protest is anything but grassroots, its all real estate money. And does anyone take Ruzzin seriously anymore? Everybody knows he is trying to develop his New-lands house.

The Daily Camera rag will, like Foxnews and the teabaggers, push the developer protest story to death, much like the Dick and Edie story, even though there is no real community support for their position. And just like the teabaggers, their loudness will have no real effect. Warren Hullquist has just ensured Macon's election to a 4 year term. With the election of Macon, the developers will have two more years in purgatory, giving the counsel a chance to firm up the Board's with liberals/environmentalists. If they were smart, they would go after Tim Plass. Applehead is not always a reliable vote. With Tim on the council, only Suzy and the little shit will be reliable votes for monster houses and shit-hole downtown buildings.

So the developers and the Camera will push the conservative/real estate money candidates. But this field of candidates is so week, they really have no chance other than to get KC on.

First offender is KC Becker. Have you seen her fucking yard signs? Its a picture of a mother throwing her child in front of a bulldozer, just sick. Easy Camera endorsement. They will praise here willingness to look at the tough issues and seek compromise. Fuck that, move to Broomfield with your developer husband. She is the real danger to environmental position on council

Barry Stiff is also the nextCamera endorsee. Uriah Heath will write a story for the Camera promoting his ability to see both side of the issue. Also, someone who would approve a developer building a four story high building on the cite of the Camera rags building they so desperately need to sell.

At this point, there is no one left to endorse. So they will have to endorse Matt. They will then review liberal pretender Thielin's blog and endorse whoever he picks.

Suzy is un-beatable. But she will never be mayor and has cemented her position as a generally disliked bitch. Why exactly does she want to be on council?

Macon and Matt will come in second and third. Both will get their four year term and create hell for Suzy and Ken. Liberals will control council with Lisa, Macon, Crystal, Matt, and Susan.

The real election is whether there will be any developer opposition that matters. Its between KC, Stiff, and Tim P.
