Alas, we are into the final swing of madcap electioneering here in Spokane, and the rest of the state. And if you believe the television advertising, you would come to the conclusion that each candidate only has one significant pro/con position (most of which are really factless opinions).
So herewith, are a few of these opinion positions:
US Senate
Baumgartner (a former CIA operative) will do good things and Cantwell can't do much.
Cantwell worked to keep Boeing in the state, and Baumgartner doesn't know much at all.
US Congressional District office
Cathy McMorris-Rodgers is a trophy for our DoD, and Cowen just makes movies.
Cowen will strive to serve all the people, and CMR serves only her party.
Governor
McKenna will protect women and children from abuse, and Inslee is responsible for massive tax increases.
Inslee will work together with both sides to do some things, and Mckenna isn't who he says he is.
State Attorney General
Dunn is the savior of all possible victims, and Ferguson liked it when he worked for a cop killer.
Ferguson is a tough litigator and really cares, and Dunn has been a very bad and corrupt boy.
Indeed, all of the races are being presented in this format. The lazy language of our process bleeds discontent. Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction (who is running unopposed) all share in this same manner. Nearly like "Me Tarzan, You Jane."
Sadly, the truth has absolutely zero chance of breaking through. The voters will be forced to guess which one they care about, based solely on the political party and/or affiliation. It reminds me of middle school, where everyone is trying to find a position that they can hold onto and failing miserably.
