Publicola got their hands on a UW research poll that shows leftward-leaning Mike McGinn "leading" in the mayor's race among Republican voters. McGinn's got 15 percent to Nickels' 10 percent. McGinn says the appeal is due to his "fiscal conservatism" in being against the deep-bore tunnel. That said, the poll's 600 people surveyed left Nickels in the lead, with Mallahan, Donaldson, Drago, and McGinn each divvying up about 10 percent.

McGinn is the best of both worlds in that sense. He wants to make Seattle the greatest city in the world, by being environmentaly and socially conscious as well he wants to only do things that we can actually afford to do. He knows that the health of the city revolves around its fiscal health.
