We’ve moved from Election Day to Election Week. Will Election Month be far behind?

The Seattle Times reported that minority group leaders called both McGinn and Joe Mallahan "strangers," and not in the Balki-Bartakamos wacky roommate way.

Mike McGinn got the smackdown from local blogs. Is confidence in the candidate waning, or is the guy just having a bad week?

The latest numbers from Tuesday's primary are up, and Joe Mallahan is still on top. The current figures in the three-way race: Joe Mallahan with 28126 votes (27.22%), Mike McGinn with 27586 votes (26.69%), and Greg Nickels still coming in third with 26416 votes (25.56%). The next update on the King County site comes tomorrow at approximately 4:30 p.m. (results schedule here), along with the first stats on primary results broken down by legislative district. SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Early primary results show a Seattle mayoral race three-way, with incumbent Greg Nickels on the bottom and the Seattle Times still stabbing viciously. But for the Times, it's a bittersweet used-to-be-friends assassination: Anti-tunnel crusader Mike McGinn leads Joe "T-Mobile" Mallahan by less than a percentage point.

Mayoral candidate Mike McGinn is starting to mix it up with Greg Nickels over the deep-bore tunnel. (McGinn has been campaigning as anti-tunnel for a while, but Nickels has only now started to respond.) Now McGinn says that since the Seattle share of tunnel costs would nearly equal the total of every other voter-approved levy in the city, it's worth a vote.

SPD Blotter with more info on this morning's hit and run at Sixth & Cherry: "They now believe that a light-colored bus with a dark stripe or dark tinted windows, is possibly involved."

Mike McGinn, local enviro and an increasing threat to Greg Nickels's re-election effort, is doing his damnedest to make Nickels pay for lobbying so hard for a waterfront tunnel. The Times has a report on McGinn's strategy today, while Publicola points out McGinn supporters have launched a new anti-tunnel website.

The long-running conflict over how to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct, theoretically settled in January when local and state leaders agreed on a controversial tunnel option, has come up in the tendentious races for mayor and city council. According to the , tunnel supporters held a press conference yesterday attacking mayoral candidate and former Sierra Club leader Mike McGinn and council candidate Mike O'Brien for "misleading voters about the project's costs and benefits." McGinn has been particularly critical, frequently pointing to a $4.2 billion price tag, which includes related projects like street and seawall improvement and replacement. Tunnel supporters counter that the tunnel is only $1.2 to $1.9 billion.

Anti-tunnel mayoral candidate Mike McGinn, who just picked up endorsements from the 37th District Ds and the Sierra Club (Nickels snagged the Washington Conservation voters' love), claims a new poll shows him winning handily if only everyone in Seattle knew he was against that $4.2-billion boondoggle tunnel. The poll his campaign commissioned shows 64 percent of Seattle voters are against building a tunnel, just like Mike "Tunnel Over My Dead Body" McGinn. The rest live in West Seattle, and just don't realize their transportation needs have already been met.

According to Publicola, James Donaldson has officially entered the mayoral race alongside Dan Savage, Mike McGinn, and the incumbent, Greg Nickels. The former Sonics player's press release reads a little like a locker room halftime speech, or at least what we'd imagine a locker room speech would sound like if we ever have occasion to hear one, but it leaves us lukewarm. Gotta do better than that, Donaldson.
