1. I wish Cantwell would start matching McGavick's ad buys
I'm getting sick of seeing his face on the cable news nets every 30 minutes every hour pretending to be Mr. non-partisan while Maria is completely absent to respond.

2. Seems to be missing in her actions
Magic Mike MaGavic ,is indeed out there on show.
He seems to have a pretty good act.
As it said in the editorial ,local section P.I. Connaly, journalist that shares the place with Jamieson.

The buttom line , Cantwell is missing.

Isn,t that the problem? All and all, Cantwell is missing it.

Nothing from nothing -,
Leaves nothing right?

She may say she has been busy doing her job as a senator, taking care of business every day ,in every way.

Exception to the one big issue,
The issue that the voters are concerned about,
The one issue that need not apply, so her sign says.

Indeed she is missing.

3. I once saw a sign
Edited on Fri Jul-07-06 09:30 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
It really did say long haired freeky people need not apply.

It was in front of a small company that claimed it was growing.

Later I went back to review that sign.

It was removed.

I went in to ask why ,and apply,.
Back in the early seventys plastic recycling was a new up comming venture.

And it required new and better ways of management.
Oh, it required experience ,but not the same kind of experience that had been around old hat. Too much of nothing, same old thing.

Projecting into a market that was not as of yet there can prove to be a most difficult thing even for the most experienced of management professionals, because they lack the ability to navigate in uncharted waters. It essientally leaves them nowhere ,with nothing at the tables.

I see MaGavic right there at that table with nothing to add.

No experience in the one right place.

Who else do you know of on that very same page?

Bush for one right?

4. Interesting
Cantwell's numbers really haven't moved much. In December Strategic Vision had her at 50%. That's within the statistical margin.

What has happened is that McGavick has picked up some points.

Still 10% undecided is enough to make a difference. This is still Cantwell's race to lose, and her huge lead in cash on hand will enable her to get a positive message out to voters through TV ads that are now starting to run.

We should start to see her pick up some of those undecideds, and McGavick will have to work hard just to tread water.

5. Newt Gingrich proclaims world War Three
Edited on Sun Jul-16-06 06:20 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
Let,s face it says Newt Gingrich America is at world war three.
Newt has come a long way with his views since his days of ABSCAME.
Abscame if you don,t know was the Washington DC witch craft sex scandle that rocked both houses and Washington DC at large.

Old Newt found himself in the center of the scandle. He just couldn,t help it. It was all too much,- though very much there. He was surrounded by it, there was no escape. So he subdued to it.

Witch hunting became a fad as a result of the Abscame scandle back in the early eithtys.

DC not being a play-ground for the witchy being the theme.

Here now is the basis of Cantwells support of the middle eastern conflict. And without a doubt it is republican.
The wait and see how it will progress . Wait for turns of events, playing politics. The wait and see, the careful watcher,- not to speak too soon. What the hell kind of people does she take advice from. ?Military war lords no doubt. But it requires a big budget, and armed forces at optimal. All that requires a draft and a drastic turn of events. Wait and see, and wait and see. But she seems to be preparing for which ever way events turn. (Playing in politics). Couldn,t possibly have anything to do with foresight. The special quailty one looks for in a candidate. Her tennis shoes won,t do it for her this time.

Gingrich wants the gun slinger approch . Bush on the other hand sees diplomatic nogotiations as being more of a sure fire way of dealing with the middle eastern conflict.

Gingrich wants to revise the constitution ,as (they think it is out of date.) So than you are the soul responsibilty of you. And so if you invest wrong, than just bury you along the side of the road somewhere,or what ever, Be Well, such as it goes.

Another way of saying we are in it head over heals ,lets proceed at all cost., reguarldess to what the cost.

World war one and all the cast away vetrens without fallowup hosiptal care,-at all cost. Doesn,t he work for the greedy masters?

6. What is the difference?? They both are puppets of big corp money.
They agree on almost every issue. Maria has proven recently that she isn't above the corruption of buying out her opponents like republicans do.

7. There is a difference
Edited on Mon Jul-17-06 12:51 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
The D behind her name also means she falls subject to the will of the people. Bad publicity or public out cry back home for a senator means her house is out of order. The senator stands on the senate floor without a solid floor to stand on.

That floor has been known to be pulled out from under senators and congress people without much of a warning, by the people.

It is moreso the republicans that tend to stick to it wrong or right the same.

Notoriously running this counrty a muck.
And always leaving the terrible mess for the democrates to (FIX).

They wager war at all cost. They stand on principal. They make decisions at their desk,s . And they except the sacrifices that are made based on principals that are lacking straight from the core issues.

It is indeed easy to ride high on principals that you hold high in value when you have never been to war. It is not so easy for those that have never been to war to face the truth.

9. The "D" means she is supposed to represent her constituents. However,
apparently Senator Cantwell doesn't agree with that. Her constituents begged her to support the filibuster for Alito for no other reason than to show the Repubs that we weren't push-overs. Did she listen to us? Hell no. She yielded to the Republicans. She forgot she had a "D" behind her name.

Will she tell her constituents why oh why she supported George Bush's lie for the Iraq War? Nope.

Will she tell us now how she stands on the war in Iraq? Nope.

Will she win the primary in a fair and balance contest? Nope.

Please tell me what Senator Cantwell has done to earn the "D" behind her name?

10. Here is what I can tell you
Edited on Mon Jul-17-06 02:15 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
A democratic seat is all and most important right now. Cantwell is what we got, like it or not.

If the idea of Cantwell is somewhat disturbing as it is no doubt,than Imagine,

If Cantwell was reelected because of the current political climate.
And that circumstance and events are not predictable or within the political strategist views. She walks on egg shells.

She waits and watches and holds her position .

Like a card game ,carefully playing it out .
Watching the clock ,and wondering what circumstances and events will turn up. Same as playing for just the right card to turn up from within the deck.

James West was removed from office by the voters.
What democratic replacements after the elections may be considered?

It can happen. It just may take time for the elements to fall into place. Perhaps such a hopeful is just not quite ready right now.
