Oh, For The Love of Cars: Ron Tonkin for PDX Mayor?

The O's Jeff Mapes today helps the Mayor of 122nd Avenue float a trial balloon about becoming the Mayor of the rest of Portland, if the Sam Adams Recall II succeeds (stop laughing):

In a way, Tonkin's interest isn't surprising. He floated his name back in 2004 but ultimately decided not to run. Thanks to years of advertising, he'd have plenty of name recognition, although he has to be aware that the public doesn't exactly put car dealers (or journalists!) up on a pedestal.

As a matter of fact, if you read Mapes' article now, you'll get, for no extra charge or APR, a comment from Jason Wurster.

Seriously. I said, stop laughing!

Also, with a view toward the immediately-previous posting, the word for the day is synchronicity.
