Soundpolitics.com did what amounted to a puff-piece on Mike McGavick, located here:
The salient point is that Mr. McGavick doesn't get it.
"I did ask him about his press conference statement on I-912 and initiatives in general. First of all, a candidate for federal office should be talking about national issues, not state and local issues, so it was pretty silly of Connelly to ask him about I-912 in the first place. But since McGavick didn't give the best answer at the press conference, I thought it was fair to ask him to clarify his position. His answer to me was as non-committal as what he said at the press conference but more thoughtful and empathized with the frustration and distrust that so many voters obviously feel over the way that transportation has been managed in the state."
I want a senator that could be described as "plain spoken." I realize this conversation was "off the record," but McGavick missed a huge opportunity to make amends for his idiotic, inexcusable assault against those of us who actually believe in the Constitution of this state.
Clearly, the rarefied air of the SafeCo corporate offices damaged Mr. McGavick's brain.
Should the planets align and the Executive Board of the state GOP get hijacked on a bus, this guy may win. But if he does, it will be without my support or money.
How about Reagan Dunn for U.S. Senate?
ReplyDeleteHad to ask.
Or Mary Lane, a.k.a. Marummy?
Reagan is an intriguing possibility, but he's hamstrung by his situation with Hammond.
ReplyDeleteIf he couldn't get the support of the his KingCo Council district PCOs... then how can he expect to get statewide support? In some respects, his situation isn't that much different then Tebelius's.
Mary Lane hasn't made her bones, politically. She has to do more than be a coat-holder. She has to run for something and win first... then we can look her over.
Ideally, but not necessarily, the candidate would be a woman, however, to eliminate the built-in gender advantage.
