Typical Microsoft thinking. Take the same broken product and paint it over in brighter colors. Put a fresh face on the old strategy and get the local press to tell everyone it's "new."

Guess what? Not falling for it.

Hey, when I posted there was no interview, just the intro. Now that the interview has been added, let me say...
Speaking of blurriness, I'm still a bit blurry on whether you support gay marriage or civil unions.

I support equal rights under the law.
Fail. Fail. FAIL. FAIL!

I love how she just got done trying to hit Reichert because, "he should be leading at this point, and I haven't seen that leadership." Way to show leadership on the question of marriage vs civil unions. I guess fourteen years at General Motors, er, Microsoft teaches you to keep your head down, right?

Here's the reality. Reichert sucks being all GOP and everything but guess what? His stature as law enforcement dude (doesn't he look like that guy in Airplane btw?) gives him an actual identity in the district that is apart from "I am a GOP congressman who voted against Obama."

And twice he's won.

I think a corporate vice president isn't going to have much appeal to all those blue collar folks in Pierce County either. And when she says why she is running this focus on long term investment in our economy is great, very wise, blah blah blah but she needs to tell an unemployed Pierce County guy how she's going to help him RIGHT NOW.

It would help if Obama came to the district, too.

This whole theme of I am from business so I know how the economy works is also not so great right now, too. Business leaders aren't worshpped anymore, duh. Even MS. And the whole MS managerial I am woman trail blazer thing isn't helpful in getting the exact slice of votes that did NOT vote for Burner but that need to be shifted to the Democratic column.

she somes off as smart, rich, very successful, a manager, totally educated and all, in other words totally not like the people whose votes she needs, and she also based on this interview has not a clue about what to tell voters why they should vote for her in 10 words or less.

"I am like Darcy but I have a better resume" or "I manage people like you, voters, think of me as your boss" isn't going to win this thing.

Good luck!

To PC: "Darcy with a better resume" would have won.

waste

Sheriff Dave is entrenched now

move on to other elections, let them keep it

she could not get on the Bellevue Council

waste

(does not support gay marriage, used all the old codes)

PC makes a VERY important point, the public has turned on corporate leaders, totally. Lady needs to shake another bone.

She might have bee an Exec. but does not speak well, or act informed about her own campaign.... how much money have you raised is a direct simple question. Waiting for the report is a silly answer.

I sent $100 to Ms Burner, but if that's your best answer to the question of gay marriage, you will not be receiving the same level of support

hmmm, not really that impressed. i can't tell why she wants it.

you're not the pixies. i'm not the pixies. and i'm not digging for (your) fire.

we don't need the water, let the motherfucker burn(er).

Suzan is wearing a ring on her finger... I would hazard a guess that that means the easy interpretation is....

" Given the state of politics and political aides who get caught over and over and over again and again and again with falling in lust and more frustratingly tension building situations of lusty lust " and even more
" EEEE-LUUUUUSTRIOUS LUST " with they're wealthy altruistic superiors,

maybe it isn't a good idea to "volunteer" to be her "aide" or campaign "supporter".

...Oh hell, just take a wide stance on the issue and grab a partner and close your self in a coat closet and ... well on second thought... maybe not.

DelBene is a far superior candidate to Darcy. Darcy lacked personality, spent more time on the phone talking to donors than she did talking to voters, and even her second time around when she stopped by our GOTV effort had no clue how to talk to all the volunteers working their asses off for her, and didn't even do the token make a few phone calls gesture. DelBene is sharp, memorable, and is spending lots of time on the ground talking to the "little people." The fact that she has a personality alone makes her a far superior candidate.

I kept hearing from the right wing that Darcy Burner had no "charisma" or "personality". Considering the people they consider "charismatic": Shrub, Limbaugh, Sean Insanity, etc., ya gotta wonder...

Please wait...
