Once an America-hating Red Bushie, always an America-hating Red Bushie.

Sigh.

The dumbest thing the Gregoire campaign, and by extension, Democrats, did in 2004 was to let him get away with stating no actual positions on anything. There's no way he can get the support of the Republican PCOs without stating positions which will alienate about 60-70% of Washington state voters. Most of the Republican PCOs are hardcore Bible-thumpers, and they want to hear some serious gay-bashin', Bible-thumpin', thinly-veiled racism along with the usual litany of "Taxes Bad, Public Schools Bad, Public Transportation Bad, Seattle Liberals Bad."

Good for him. I think that's exactly where he needs to be when the evangelical exodus hamstrings the Republican Party in 2008.

@2...he'd only have to court the PCO's of his party were he in a Primary fight for the nomination. That won't happen, he's all they've got. So, he doesn't need to win the PCO's over with that kind of talk. Now, all he needs to do is to run against "Queen Christine" as they've been calling her, and they'll be happy.

And he shall lead them into the desert, and they shall stay there, barred from the land of milk and honey, for 40 years, the life of a man.

Yeah, sounds fitting. What a weasel.

Once again they use the term "traditional marriage' In the Tradition of those that practise Judy-ism and Islam the tradition is more than one wife, and a few concubines on the side. I can hardly wait.

Why in God's name cant "Dino" get a
real job?

He has a slackjaw way of talking that makes me think he's a future trip to recovery.

Where's Dan Evans when you need him?

Maybe he can hire that Ellen Craswell adviser who thought that gay men should be burned in ovens. I could really stand to see another landslide Democratic victory.

This is a different political climate entirely. If anti-gay activist Tim Burgess can win in "liberal" Seattle, Rossi will definately will make a strong showing for governor.

Let him court the Doc Hastings demographic. As shaky as the Gregoire campaign is so far, at least she knows better than to pander to them.

The Dems need to do ONE thing to win both the Govenors Mansion and the White House in 2008. ONE thing: Equate a vote for ANY Republican as a vote for "back alley abortion clinics". Maybe some pictures of a young woman dead as a result of unclean and unsafe abortion techniques she used since the GOP took her right away to have a safe abortion.

It is time to play hardball politics Democrats: Do you have the stomach for it?

Gay marriage is not the only step left.

After that, there's gotta be the fight for Government-Mandated Metrosexuality.
