Jon was too shy to name names, but the “well-known Republican personality” rumored to be weighing a run to replace Rep. Brian Baird in WA-03 is none other than crazy-conservative talk host Lars Larson.
That would certainly make the race, um, interesting.
UPDATE:
Did Larson just deny the rumor in the comment thread?

spews:Hilarious. and flattering. and not the least bit valid. but kinda fun …
Anybody can spoof an email address and URL in a comment, so we can’t know that’s really Larson, but the IP resolves to Rose City Digital, the same outfit that does the KXL website. Hmm.

first of all i do more good behind a mic
second it would be a hardship to take that kind of cut in pay
third…i’m under contract for two radio shows for the next five years and could not legally do that.
and i have never felt the least bit of desire to run for office. i once discussed running for Oregon Governor but only if i could campaign from behind the mic…and continue to do the radio show while serving
good luck to Brian’s Republican replacements and fat chance to the democrat wanna bes
Lars
Goldy spews:
lars @2,
If that is you Lars, and you decide to change your mind, I’d be happy to hold down the hosting duties on your radio show in your absence.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
That Zit Between Your Toes ... spews:
Whew, story averted.
Mathew "RennDawg" Renner spews:
I love that guy. I listen to Lars’s show at work. Well the rebroadcast anyway. He is great. I would love to see him run in the 3rd. I would also love to see the smartent man in radio Michael Medved challenge Senator Patty Murray.
Terry spews:
Any truth to the rumor that Terry Bergeson may enter the race? She’s very popular in Southwest Washington.
