Will he or won't he?

Momentum is building for Peter Steinbrueck to challenge Seattle mayor Greg Nickels, but the former city council member is going to decide his way.
I hope Steinbrueck does run. I would like to know more about him but I, like many other long time Seattlites, have tremendous affection for his father and worry that the current willy nilly changes in Seattle are undermining the city's humanity.
Why is Nickles so powerful? I do not think this Isa a typical issue of machine politics. Rather, as the PI dies and other mass media atrophy, it seems to me that getting elected Mayor is going to become a commodity with a price. Mayor Nickles has vast support from the business community and anyone running against that will have difficulty finding places to foment public discussion.
