And he wasn’t exactly nice about it…
Last Tuesday I attended a candidate forum held in Benton City Washington.  There were a variety of local candidates (of which I will write about in the near future) but what I was there to see were the 4th Congressional District Candidates.  While there was a rumor Richard (Doc?) Hastings would […]

Ahh, more on Peter Goldmark.  I gotta tell you I have been thinking that this is the guy a district like Washington’s 5th needs since I first heard his name.  After doing a little research it became obvious that Peter could reach out to voters across party lines with a progressive and fundamentally sound message that […]

Update:  I am going to try and catch the Candidate Forum in Benton City.  I hear Richard (aka Doc) Hastings will be there.  Maybe he will crush under the pressure of…. questions!  You know… the kind of questions not asked at GOP fundraiser’s.  My secret hope is he will be announcing his retirement under the burden of a guilty […]

The Peter Goldmark Campaign is changing the solid red status of Washington’s 5th Congressional District.  Congressional Quarterly has updated it’s rating of the fifth’s race and calling the Golmark Campaign a “Credible Threat” to the supposed “rising star” seemingly lifting Cathy McMorris above competition.  As part of a CQ interview with CQ Goldmark had this to say:
When […]

[Ed.  When the opportunity to do this interview came about, I was up to my ass in alligators busy.  But a good friend and former blogger Douglass was willing (sucessfully recruited that is) to act in my stead.  Thanks Douglass and thank you Peter Goldmark! - Jimmy]

I don’t care if Mike McGavick got a DUI, got a divorce, or even feels guilty for laying off more Safeco employee’s than intended.  I have been through a divorce and a DUI (haven’t had the opportunity to lay a bunch of folks off yet) and I can tell you it sucks.  But this is […]

Peter Goldmark posted a diary on Daily Ko’s today.  If you live in the 5th, and don’t know the name (or the candidate) read on…
A vote for Peter Goldmark is a vote for:
*    a leader who listens to voters, speaks out for their interests, thinks independently,
*    a leader who asks tough questions and faces tough issues […]

I am off the blogging payroll slog through the weekend to take in a funeral (she will be dearly missed) and a wedding (sadly odd huh?).  Backatcha Monday.

Awhile back I wrote this post about media coverage and the Richard Wright campaign.  And in that post I also posted an e-mail I sent to the Tri-City Herald’s Ken Robertson: 
I find it interesting that the Herald covers candidate events as a matter of fact (you know… this is happening on X day at X […]

Update:  A special thanks to The General for coming out this way.   Somehow I feel more enlightened about the Glorious Christian Conservative Cultural Revolution… yet strangely horrified… 
It’s Tuesday again, just like last week and just like it will be next week.  It just keeps happening.  Is your life a bore?  Has today’s political climate got you down?  Are you just […]

From the Yakima Herald’s, Leah Beth Ward:
Fruit grower George Allan gave a quiz at last week’s Southwest Yakima Rotary lunch where Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, was the featured guest. He asked the group to name two Democratic congressmen who had represented the heavily Republican 4th Congressional District.
Somebody correctly guessed Jay Inslee, who was elected in […]
