Politics Patty Murray Backs Ned Lamont
I just got a message from Alex Glass, Patty Murray’s spokesperson: “Senator Murray will be supporting the Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont.”
I asked Glass why Murray waited a week to declare here support for Lamont.
“She was in China the last week,” said Glass, “and I didn’t have any contact with her. I wasn’t able to talk to her about it.”
Apparently they don’t have newspapers, phones, or the internets in China, and helpless staffers have no way to get in touch with a sitting U.S. Senator who visits that benighted country.
Dan, what happened to the posting with directions to the Mercer Island protest? I wanted to go. Did you chicken out or something?
