This is exactly the sorta ad I wish Darcy Burner had been able to run during the final weeks of the 2006 and 2008 campaigns. But she couldn’t.

Why? More on Slog.

    This is exactly the sorta ad I wish Darcy Burner had been able to run during the final weeks of the 2006 and 2008 campaigns. But she couldn’t.

    Why?

    because she couldn’t find enough white people to fit around a conference room table?

    Why?

    because she didn’t live on the right waterfront for an endorsement?

    Lacking a political resume to run on, Burner could have sorely used the third-party validation of a major editorial endorsement.

    whereas delbene’s resume includes voting in at least 2 of the last 10 elections.

    Good progressive ad…period.

    Progressive candidates are making contests out of supposedly lost races all over the country with focus like this. Real peoples real problems require real solutions…NOT rethuglican dog whistle talking points.

    OMG! This is a bombshell:

    http://thinkprogress.org/2010/.....r-meeting/

    A leaked memo about an exclusive meeting with an invite-only list of the doers in the oligarchic right wing.

    Incredible stuff! If you’ve always wondered who the fascistic enemies of progress in this country are, here it is, go no further!

    @1-4 Dear complete moron:

    Uh huh, maybe we should vote for the guy who opposed the banking bill but has no clue what the major banking legislation has been in the last 100 years.

    Maybe we should vote for the guy who lied about his environmental record – just to neutralize the green movement in Seattle.

    Maybe we should vote for the guy who could not find the green river killer under his own nose and never got more than an AA degree.

    Maybe we should vote for the guy who is afraid to even debate.

    nahhhh, maybe not.

    I guess one of the highest compliments the Seattle Times can pay a politician is “adjective + moderate”.

    Well, it looks like Kostner doesn’t want to debate Larson anymore.

    I haven’t heard much on polling, but the only poll I’ve heard of in the past couple of weeks showed Kostner slighly ahead. If so, now he’s regretting agreeing to one debate with Larson?

    So he’s withdrawing. But to cover his withdrawal, he’s blaming the Everett Herald. Or more specifically, a reporter on the Everett Herald, who would have been on the debate panel, claiming he is “biased”.

    Koster drops from TV debate with Larsen in protest of Herald panelist

    So Kostner doesn’t want a debate if the largest (only?) daily newspaper in the county is involved.

    @15 Welcome to Republican political analysis…you’re a poopie head and have cooties! LOL

    As for the ad, it’s a GOOD political ad. Points out how goofy his votes have been and how mainstream she is…that’s about as good as you can do. Can we pass a bill that says equal pay for women does NOT apply to any women who vote for Reichert? That would nice…since that’s what THEY want, why can’t we give it to them?

    Surely you can do better…

    Once again correctnotright has found his useless meme…

    Maybe we should vote for the guy who could not find the green river killer under his own nose and never got more than an AA degree.

    Foolish left wing moron… Once again read the facts… The FBI let Gary Ridgway go after their lie detector test failed to catch him. If you disagree with Puddy, check with TEH HA DATABAZE KEEPA ylb.

    Stay stupid correctnotright… it’s your perfect act all year!

    To the dirt stain@9,

    The Koch Brothers are AMERICANS. George Soros is a foreign pinhead coordinating with Media Morons to influence elections since 200?

    Only he knows the truth!

    Hey Puddynut, how old are you? If you’re under 49, then George Soros has been an American citizen longer than you have.

    From BusinessWeek, August 23, 1993:

    George Soros became a naturalized American citizen in New York on Dec. 18, 1961, according to the Immigration & Naturalization Service.

    But why let facts interfere with an outright lie?
