Did anyone listen to Rossi on KUOW this week? I can take only so much of his car salesman pitch, but I stomached my way through it for the ideal of knowledge. He said on at least ten occasions he doesn't know whether he'll be gunning for Gregoire in 2008--adding each time that, by the way, he came back to defeat the person that defeated him in his first bid for the state senate. And did you know he has a family that comes first!?

It was awful.

Speaking of hard-to-stomach:

Hi, I'm Mike McGavick and I'm running for the United States Senate. My wife Gaelynn and I decided I should run for the United States Senate because we believe that it's our duty as parents and citizens to ensure a better life for our own children and our great state. In this spirit, I am committed to the principles that define America: standing tall for freedom, ensuring limited yet effective government, and finally, that the strength of America resides not in the government itself but in the families and communities that create the fabric of our nation.

Isn't it great that when Republicans in Washington need to think of some senators to compare their candidate to, they have to choose two Democrats?

Is how they can say this:

the strength of America resides not in the government itself but in the families and communities that create the fabric of our nation.

And yet want a senior position in the government itself. It's obviously code for "I hate government and want to destroy it," and yet they want to run our government?

Even worse, why did a bunch of folks who hate government think that they could go halfway accross the world to Iraw and build a new one?
