Steve seems like a nice guy, but he sure doesn't know how to choose a slogan. It may have seemed cute to 'spin' the occupy movement to the notion of 'occupying' i.e. working at - city hall. But the occupy movement started to go sour pretty early, and Steve is stuck with being linked with it in voters' minds. Not a good connection.
You also said the Churchill was a bad name for a condo and I didn't buy that either. Steve is running a non-mainstream campaign and as such will never appeal to the bulk of regular voters, ie: he won't steal many votes away from Brown or Fortin. His strategy is to grow the pie by getting out the non-voters, the disinfranchised who identify with OV original impulse. He campaigns like crazy.
I wonder...if there's a record low turnout...if the low mainstream vote splits between Brown and Fortin...if Filopovic motivates a few thousand to visit the polls for the first time...is a Filopovic victory possible? For those that laugh, you obviously don't remember Mayor Moonbeam.

I'm of two minds on this. On one hand I'm grateful, because really, nobody else is taking radiation readings around here and face it--radiation would definitely not be the first Japanese thing to wash up on our shores in recent history. So now we can rest easy that there's nothing here above normal background radiation.
I was resting easy before Steve decided to test the local radiation levels. What made you think there was ever a problem?
