One week into WW’s 2008 Best of Portland survey, we’re pushing 600 ballots, and the campaign for Takayuki Suzuki appears to be a smashing success. Timbers fans, fully one-sixth of the ballots we’ve received name Suzuki as Portland’s best athlete. But don’t rest now. The poll is still open for another 26 days—more than enough time for another franchise to launch a counteroffensive. And what about you, Blazer’s Edge? Brandon Roy is only trailing Suzuki by a slim margin. You could still turn this around. As for Blazers management—are you guys even trying? Greg Oden’s only got 8 votes to his name!
On the Best Activist front, Steve Novick and Jefferson Smith—both of whom are, as you might have noticed, running for public office—are currently in the lead. But who’s that sneaking up behind? None other than Zetaman! All right, big Z!
Among bloggers, Geek in the City is trashing previous winners bojack.org and portlandfoodanddrink.com. B!X is nowhere to be seen, to say nothing of Urban Honking. Come on, guys!
Among radio hosts, Rick Emerson is destroying the competition. That means the rest of you broadcast professionals have some catching up to do. Cort and Fatboy, I mean you. And you, Daria.
