As you pointed out in your article, while the 8th is perceived as the eastside district (and it is), it also includes SE King and east Pierce.

Dave Ross won the eastside (and so will Burner) but he got clobbered down south.

To win this seat we need boots on the ground in Kent, Auburn, Sumner, and Puyallup.

I am not intersted in Gregoire's dogs or daughters for the same reasons.

Talk to your publisher about free ads for her campaign, we would all love that.

Yes, Bruner needs our help, but you have devalued Reichert too much.

He was elected as Sheriff. Voters in the county know who the sherrif is.

And your short term residence is showing if you don't get a better background about the murders.

There were community meetings, marches, vigils - massive leftist community concerns became red hot - Lesbian activist Cookie Hunt and many other power dykes of the era formed a mass movment to get some resources flowing as the deaths continued. Their theory was right on - street women coud be killed and the status quo would yawn.

Cookie, as solid a Lesbian feminist activist as ever existed in this town, liked Reichert. He respected her solid work. The Stranger did not exist then. Cookie died a few years back, but my point is he has a giant platform to stand on when it comes to the Green River murders.

I will send her my 50.00 - so should other - but Reichert is no pushover.

She's a Dean-handpicked puppet candidate, which was made glaringly obvious by your repeated references to Dean constantly namedropping her and the obvious Burner paraphernalia being waved around at the little crab lunch the donkeys had:

"It was on the lips of most of the speakers, it was on the majority of placards waved by activists, and it was on the button that Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean wore on his lapel as he took the stage for the keynote speech: 'Darcy Burner for Congress.' In his speech, Dean dropped Burner's name more often than any other Democratic candidate running in Washington State this year."

This is an obvious, intelligence insulting selljob, and personally I'm offended that you treat this woman as a savior, let alone a qualified candidate for federal office.

And yes, I do think she should start off in City Council and try learning something about how government works before trying to change it at the Federal level, assuming she should at all.
