Given that #3 and #5 are ambivalent, you only list three things to know.

not this shit again

@2 did you have a point, or just another post to use big words you don't really understand the meaning of?

The rebubs -- Rossi included -- aren't against Sound Transit because it is financed via sales taxes and car value taxes. What they do is pretend to be against it, to whip up support in Seattle. Kemper Freeman and Tim Eyman likewise made "anti-rail" noises, but the were paper tigers and the courts disposed of their collusive claims. Dino shouldn't be elected and sent to DC now, but his lip-service opposition to Sound Transit isn't why.

Put the NO back in Dino...

I don't know about Dino, but his father was misogynistic dick. He figured that girls only grow up to be housewives, so they didn't really need a good education. Since he was my teacher, I got a firsthand view of it. My dad taught me 5th grade math, since my "teacher" wouldn't. This is the asshole who raised Dino, so I don't have any more faith in the son than I did the father.

Hopefully this time the D's muster a viable candidate and not a washed up television personality who can't decide if he's running a real campaign or not. While all these D candidates that have filed so far look like perfectly nice people, none of them can claim to have the experience necessary to be sent to DC.

@9: is that you, Susan Hutchinson?

ICYMI, Trump killed your "experience necessary to be sent to DC" BS dead.

Data request: in Rossi's three failed attempts at statewide office, what percent of the vote did he get within the boundaries of the current 8th district?

Still trying to squeeze his way to the public teat--tenacious, if little else.

@11: probably won.

All anyone needs to know about Rossi is that he's a grinning slimeball C-R-O-O-K who shouldn't be elected dogcatcher. Rossi is a 2-time loser in the Washington gubernatorial race for good reason, folks. Let's not forget.

All anyone needs to know is that the best way to have your candidate win is to address the concerns of the constituents particularly regarding issues where your opponent is gaining favor.

I believe Rossi to be the hardest working politician in our state. He is brilliant and has a great personal life. No drugs or alcohol. He volunteers for many organizations and charities using his own money and time. And he has had bad luck in Washington while trying to improve our lives. I note many innuendos and misrepresentations in the article. Political?? You decide.

@15 & @16: Go back to Mom's basement and stay there.

@16: Did you just roll in on last night's bus from Idiotville?
Just how new are you to this area? Your cluelessness as to how unfit
Dino Rossi is in serving any seat in Washington State legislature is appalling.

@16: ...and I'll bet Rossi "buys" redemption of his sins like such an "exemplary Christian" with "his own money", too.
Believe that, and I've got the deeds to the Tacoma Narrows and Deception Pass Bridges I'm willing to sell ya, cheap.
