<\/a>The other five candidate, Chris Iverson, Sharon Naseset, Ludinda Tate, Michael Casper, and a preacher who goes by the name of “Watchman” fall into the also-running category.<\/i><\/p>\n

Yes, but isn’t Watchman a mute, as dictated through some Biblical Spiritual hooey-dooey? Once in office as City Commissioner, he’ll get to work on those metaphorical “Gates”, I suppose — “sevens” in hand.<\/p>\n

I realize that makes no sense to just about anybody. And I’ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately Watchman didn’t leave anything in the Voter’s Pamphlet. All I have to go on as to whether this is “that” Watchman I had some Internet message board encounters and a real life excursion with a — um — worker Watcher(?) a blue moon ago is his Candidacy Filing.<\/a> But really, how many Watchmen can there be in Portland?<\/p>\n

Additional Update 12 hours later: Despite all the names, these races don’t look too difficult, folks. Once all the candidates are officially in next week, we’ll be posting endorsements. (Sneak preview: “Watchman” probably won’t be on there.)<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the only web reference (or real life reference for that matter) to this political campaign of Watchman that I know of. It is possible that I am the only person out there anywhere who knows, to some degree, who “Watchman” is.<\/p>\n

I will look through the archives and find something I remember of Watchman talking politics — saying that we should not follow the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, but should follow the Watchman Party. It’s curious to be sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
