Half the votes are counted so far...but this may decide: 75% of Seattle voters picking someone besides Nickels in race for mayor

Even if Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels squeaks into the general election, he is in big political trouble. Environmentalist Mike McGinn held a tiny lead in Tuesday's primary with about half the expected votes counted. T-Mobile executive Joe Mallahan was slightly ahead of Nickels for the second slot in the Nov. 3 general election.

>>>>> Mallahan, a vice president at T-Mobile who lives in Wallingford, entered the race with virtually no political experience. He made headlines early by writing his campaign a $200,000 personal check, then gained momentum among Democratic activists and district organizations. While Mallahan hired an experienced campaign staff, McGinn seemed at times to be running his campaign with little more than a bicycle and an iPhone. He spent about $87,000 for his campaign. <<<<<
