It will be extraordinarily difficult for him to operate effectively in a milieu which he has poisoned by lying to get elected. On some levels all who seek political office do so because of an oversized ego and a love of power and control. Sam got carried away with himself and this may be the karmic answer to an over active ego.

Sam’s saving grace is that he is a handsome and charming man, his opposition, not so much. Whether he can restore confidence in the office of the mayor with those whose job it is to do business with Portland remains to be seen.just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802628052039868168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835596563370939343.post-9890887741816275562009-01-26T22:41:00.000-08:002009-01-26T22:41:00.000-08:00Marc,I'm really impressed with what you do, and ho...Marc,<BR/>I'm really impressed with what you do, and how you say it.

On some level it was a fitting, cathartic, humbling moment. Now to relearn the political and personal art of listening and co- operation and mutual respect.
