Jesus if they merge why don't every Democratic campaign in Washington state just hand over their bank account information so they can take all the money out directly.

"Moxie is currently running city council candidate Venus Valazquez’s campaign against Harrell."

Well, technically, she's running for an open seat and so is Harell. A subtle distinction, but the way this is worded, it could be read that Harrell is the incumbent. (Yes, I know, picky, picky.)

I think the merger is a bleah idea. Moxie isn't quite as good as Northwest Passage. I'm not sure when they've had a winning campaign last.

Hmm, Moxie wins....oh yeah, they helped Rodney Tom beat Luke Esser - that's one hell of a win, right there.

Just sayin.

Yeah, Moxie has a great winning record, especially in legislative races.

I don't see why the two firms would merge because of all the lost IE and Democratic primary business. But, they'd be a helluva team. Wyble, McLean and Sinderman are far and away the best in the NW.

Well color me corrected. Didn't know Moxie worked for Rodney Tom.

Plus, I do understand that consultants need work and can't really choose their clients if they want to stay in business.

Moxie only accepts clients that are Washington state Democrats (except Senator Tim Sheldon so technically that is still just Democrats) or aligned with democratic causes. I am just saying if the two firms combined they would almost have an instant lock on the market for Democratic marketing campaign consultants in the state.

Didn't someone at the Stranger refer to Jason Bennett as an up-and-comer recently? Blair's still kind of in the game. Terry Thompson is still doing work, and D.J. Wilson is trying to start his own consulting gig - so I think it's safe to say that they would still have competition. Oh, and I think Cathy Allen is still working.....

I think the thing that keeps these firms good independent of each other is just that-- they are independent of each other. I think that each firm has things that they do well and that if you combined them, there would be no competition and no real bid for great campaigns. Sometimes lower level clients are just paying for the privilege of someone's attention-- if the firms merge, where would all the smaller budget clients go?
