Are you giving similar space --which is extensive -- to all candidates?
If so, good.
If not, why not?

You are running because being a Congressmen would fulfill your ego and because serving South Seattle clearly isn't your top priority.

I'm impressed.

We've had 27 years of a cantankerous talking-head representing us, do we want another 27?

I can't get over the upward-grasp vs. high-5 mistake clearly documented at the top of this.

@7
Huh?
What does that mean?

The only reason to go to Congress is to make sure you never have to be held accountable and hang out with lobbyists. Seriously...those are the only reasons.

Congrats on getting the SECB endorsement so early on in the race. Yay for you, PJ!

@1......Because they don't have to; that's the beauty of freedom of the press, you get to print what you want, don't have to print what you don't want.

@8: take a look at the photo accompanying this post...follow the arms down to the hands...note the placement of said hands.

Much too fast.
They should have at least given an appearance of judicious consideration.
Now? I am suspicious of her.

@13
Thx.
I see what you mean.
Definitely a control freak.

@11: Well, unless you are TV or radio, then you have to operate under equal time laws.

@11....I don't believe that the equal time laws are valid anymore.

@11.....Correction, I confused equal time with the fairness doctrine of the FCC. The fairness doctrine was eliminated but equal time still prevails in broadcast journalism. Understand though that the equal time has to be requested by the other side.

So your parents sent you from a socialist country in horrible shape to America so now your platform is to make it more socialist. That makes sense how?

@20.......As a platform it makes no sense at all; I would presume that she liked it so much better here that she decided to stay. I can't really blame her though. Would you like to live in India? I would imagine that Khsama Savant feels the same way.
