Politics Pedersen is a Weasel. Part 9.
If you go to Jamie Pedersen’s web site (he’s running for Ed Murray’s open state house seat in the 43rd district—Capitol Hill, U-District, Wallingford…), there’s something misleading afoot.
When the site boots up, you’re greeted by a picture of Jamie—then, like a slide show, every five seconds, the picture changes. What you’ll notice about the series of pictures is that they feature Jamie w a high-profile local politician: Ed Murray, Gov. Gregoire, County exec Ron Sims. You might even get the impression that these popular dems (especially current 43rd rep Murray) have endorsed Pedersen.
You’d be wrong.
If you don’t believe me, call Murray’s office, Gregoire’s office, and Sims’s office and ask if they’ve endorsed Jamie Pedersen. I can’t wait to hear what they say. Especially, Ed Murray.
So if he had a picture of himself with Bill Clinton on his web site, would that mean he's claiming that Clinton has endorsed him? I don't think so. And hopefully Bill Sherman doesn't either, since Sherman's web site has just such a photo.
