Seattle's Municipal Idol: Who Will Represent on City Council?

FOR POSITION 2: RICHARD CONLIN, INCUMBENTDavid Ginsberg: The All-American DadGinsberg, 44, and his partner shop local, know their neighbors, and have adorable twins in first grade at Pathfinder Elementary in West Seattle. Ginsberg even works at a bank, just as nice middle-class men did in the 1950s. But after putting in some serious volunteer hours for Obama, including a trip to the state convention, Ginsberg decided to get into politics full-time. And he's not taking the easy route either, attempting to unseat a three-term incumbent who he claims has been ineffective.The Odds: Not good. As of April 30, Ginsberg had raised only $18,000. That's not nearly enough to unseat an incumbent, especially when the public hasn't been calling for Conlin's ouster.
