Dori Monson points out one choice Mayor McGinn made that might have cost him the election.

Taken from Wednesday’s edition of The Dori Monson Show.

Seattle is getting a new mayor. Ed Murray soundly thumped Mike McGinn.

People think I have all this animosity towards Mike McGinn; I don’t even know him. He clearly has animosity towards me and I have no idea why. I honest to goodness cannot remember the genesis of his animosity towards me and our show.

“Full disclosure, we made some beard jokes, but I feel like that was all in good fun,” interjects Dori Monson Show Producer Jake Skorheim. “They can’t take their beards that seriously.”

I think they do. I think they take their beards seriously there in the mayor’s office. But anyway, I couldn’t care less how he feels about me. He’s not alone in whatever feelings he has.

But there is a lesson in this – they’ll be teaching this in political science classes for decades to come: If you want to get reelected, don’t make me into an enemy like Mike McGinn chose to do, that is the bottom line there.

Anyway, the Ed Murray regime has begun.
