Cantwell widens her lead


From the PI this morning:


"Coupled with Sen. Maria Cantwell's TV advertising blitz, Republican challenger Mike McGavick's mishandled disclosure of a 1993 drunken-driving arrest might be damaging his poll numbers and how electable national pundits see him to be.

<snip>

"Michael Meehan, Cantwell's chief campaign strategist, credited her surge to the campaigning she did around the state during the recent Senate recess.

Some of Cantwell's poll numbers suffered early in the summer after McGavick started airing TV ads but before she had done so. But she has had more of a TV presence since early July."

2. Magic Mike is handing the election to her
I mean, who - especially a republican - is going to vote for the moran who doesnt stand for anything.

"My name is Mike Mcgavic, and partisan-line bickering is a 'wrong-minded' thing." I mean the doofus uses the absolute worst grammar in the world. What a dipshit.

If its not a landslide, then someone tampered.

3. His ads don't make any sense. He says he's not a rubber stamp
- and yet, if elected, he fully intends to rubber stamp the shrub. huh? nice post though, and thanks for pointing out the ignorance.

6. Right from the start he said he'd drill ANWR, and privatize SS...


...I said at that point that Cantwell would have to be asleep at the wheel to lose this race.

9.  Maria is driving us over a cliff
Maria is far from asleep , So far she has bought off the major anti-war candidate , hence the pro-war Cantwell progressives have a strong candidate , since Maria refused to debate any democrat on her record .
Maria has actively supported the war in Iraq by her votes , and her continued support of the Patriot Act and the illegal wiretapping .
Our Senator gal has slimed the proud record of Washington Progressives with her voting record . Sadly her similar voting Senator ilk have broke the bank and any sort of real progressive values are buried under a mountain of Federal debt , Tax cuts for the rich , there was Maria . You know if it weren't for all of the progressive bloggers that try to reinterpet "Maria speak" or nonspeak , we wouldn't know what she stands for . The best Democrat the DLC could buy .

14. Global Warming in war
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 02:41 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
As it is the war on global terrorism is begining to take on a new face.

Recent changes within the republican party-reguards to the republican lead Senate challange to the White House policys reguarding interrogation of detainees ,which branchs off into wire tapping -americans later on-,

Is the sign of changing views united.

Easy as it is to keep pointing fingers in a given direction where wrong is what you will be pointing at,-

You may or may not find comfort in viewing what is happening politically to the tune of change,-

And how facts add up in the long run.

Senator Cantwell will come around,

For now-, the dirtyness of politics is the big factor .

The federal government is controlled by the republican party.
And the republican party national is despreate to not only gain or keep seats-, but is also desperate to gain seating in Washington state politics-,by any and all means.

That is with all the influence and powers of deception in and including moneys and falsefied information -presented in the form of adds.,-that have in the past and may at current come directly from deep within the federal government- directed by the right wing of the republican party-, or the Bush adminstration. Remember Debbera Sinn(?)and where the add moneys of the smear adds came of(?) Just as a matter of example.

Like predators.

Like a predators ball-or gathering place in the darkness.

16. Thank you!
My vote went to Hong Tran in the primaries and I have no regrets. Maria Cantwell's actions during this primary campaign have just been low-blow and very suspect. When you buy off your opponents and refuse to debate those still in the race, then there is a definate problem. Cantwell can count on my vote but that's just it and nothing else.

17. I am not a Cantwell fan. HOWEVER, I will do anything and everything to
ensure Mike! does not win. I'll deal with Maria later. Right now we have other fish to fry. Hold your nose, vote for Maria and send Mike! back to his rethuglican hidey-hole.

5. Actually, she's from Indiana
a good friend of mine knew her back in Indiana, and worked on her first campaign. She comes by the midwestern accent honestly.

10. I once knew someone
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 12:06 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
Who came from the east ,of a western part of a eastern most state.
When he got himself here in western washington ,he forgot where he came from,though he remembered California.

He had to learn how to drive again because he forgot where he learned how to drive ,or if he ever learned at all.

That took a couple of years because of rain confusion.
He did however become a very good driver.

And a very good Washingtonian.

He went back east one year and discovered he didn,t know anybody exception to his family, and those new members he hadn,t met.

On their end he seemed the same in some aspects, the rest they were never sure of to begin with.

So he flew home.

The point here is this- it grows on you- or it does not.
Everybody came from somewhere at some point in time.

If than it is not the job that keeps you here,-you are in the right place.

Where it began counts.

12. As it is,I think
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 01:31 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
I think change is the only thing that exists. Or if it does not -nothing exists.

I also think that if nothing exists and of nothing something comes into existance
-,there is,- or would be,- a formula for creation.

A paper clip and perhaps a rubber band or two may be helpful.
If anything really exists.

Or if it is there-than it is there.
What ever it may be!

A vote for Magic Mike MaGavic- is a vote for no-one and nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. Mikes ads just crack me up and strike me as the perfect
ads for Maria.

I mean, like I would ever ever believe that Mike would do anything, but vote right down the republican line. He must really think we are stuuuuupid. And as far as partisanship goes, that would be Maria, who votes with the bush administration far far too much. Much too much for my taste, anyway.

Also, a private laugh over having McCain stump for Mike. My brother, who is a boeing engineer, as well as a staunch republican, hates McCain, and has promised to work against McCain, should he ever be serious about running for pres. Having McCain stump for Mike lost him my brothers vote, as well as many other boeing rank and file. I don't know the details on this, but it has something to do with McCain causing Boeing to lose a big big contract resulting in layoffs some years back.

McGavik really should do him homework.

18. If you really like Magic mike MaGavic,s adds, than
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 12:46 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
Wait until the adds get rolling. You haven,t seen the real stuff yet.
Boeing is Boeing-, General Motars has it,s own institute of automaotive engineering -disign , GMT Institute. GM is looking to meger.

Perhaps even a war with the oil corperations at some point in the future.

Those gas tanks just ruin disign features, and who needs them.
Mergers are about power- the automotive manufactures merge and become more powerful than the oil corperations,.

But thats later, Magic Mike MaGavic the axman ,- is about take and go.
Grab it now-, and run. Get it, keep getting it -for as long as it last,s.

Thats just how Magic Mike MaGavic the AXman operates- rather like a predator. He has other predators operating on his BE_-HALF,
The BIAW for example.
Predator,s do like those post office box address,s.
A means to funnel and shift moneys around.

That,s how they keep their action going.

What your going to see in adds is Magic Mike MaGavic,s illusive, majestical, lying sack of suds act.
The old Bull Moose Shuffel.

That Axman is going to do a real song and dance. And a fancy lying sack of suds dance at that.

Make no mistake about it, - He will have guest stars on his stage.
And those predators will invite all to participate.

Just line up -sign on -and wait to become beheaded.
Without thought to it.

The song and dance act is all about believing what you see and hear.

In that act, there is no right ,no wrong, no ethical, no unethical, Just win or lose.

A real down home show.
A predators ball.





!!!!!!!!!!!!Magic Mike MaGavic The Axmans Ball.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
