"When you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything."
This blog has documented much of Rob McKenna's political cowardice since he announced for governor; in summary:
1. His failure to become, if nothing else, Scott Walker light.
2. His efforts to help derail Walker's wildly successful efforts by referring to those efforts as "terrorizing unions."
3. That he is a wholly-owned tribal subsidiary, even announcing his support for the Cowlitz/Mohegan/Paskenta/Barnett megacasino rip off.
4. His efforts to deny a church the use of a state lake to perform baptisms.
And what does he have to show for it?
The loss of his 9 point lead in the polls and the increasingly likely loss of the race, because he refuses to grow a pair while insisting on out-democrating the democrats.
I've never been one for voting for a RINO when a real democrat is around. After all, what's the point?
Meanwhile, the path to his victory, presuming such a path even exists any longer, does not lay in McKenna's business-as-usual, don't-expect-any-real-difference-between-me-and-Gregoire approach to campaigning.
I've viewed Rob as an abysmal candidate from the beginning. He's is doing all he can to live up to that expectation. And I will not be voting for him.
Yup. Disgusting though it may be, 4 more years of democratic governors is a small price to pay for punishing democrats like Rob McKenna for running as Republicans.
ReplyDeleteHopefully at least the legislature will change hands - and fall into hands that actually want to do something different, not just pretend to be different.
