Portland consultant to head Bush re- election effort in Northwest

[LauraK]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Molly Bordonaro, a former Republican candidate for Congress who served as Pacific states chair of President Bush's 2000 campaign, will head Bush's re-election campaign in the Northwest.

Bordonaro, of Portland, narrowly lost to Rep. David Wu, D-Ore., in 1998. She is a principal in the Portland office of the Gallatin Group, a Seattle- based consulting firm, and serves on the board of directors of the Fannie Mae Corp., a presidentially appointed post.

Bordonaro will direct the Bush-Cheney effort in the Northwest, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, the Bush campaign said.

Molly Bordonaro's conversion, from extremist right winger in the 1996 campaign into a made-over moderate for the current race, is just her "pulling the wool over your eyes?" Will all the sanctimonious Republicans who have recently excoriated Bill Clinton for lying to cover up personal weakness then step forward and damn Bordonaro for lying, if and when she votes in favor of vouchers for private schools, extreme restrictions on abortion rights, and supports the widespread availability of assault weapons?

1. 10 electoral votes vs 18

Ok as if a Republican even stands a chance in the I-5 corridor and that's where all of the votes are.

Idaho, Montana and Wyoming
Imagine a Republican losing badly in any of those states any time?

2. Molly still looking for a home . . .

Supercilious twit. But by currying favor and sucking up to the power structure, she will never have to worry about where her next oversized paycheck is coming from.

4. I hate her

Her family were members of this club I worked at in Portland for years. Very wealthy republicans. She hasn't had to curry favor and suck up because she was born into privilege just like bush. She is a female version of him.

5. She's A Big Loser

She ran for a House seat a few years back, and lost big-time!

6. Bring 'er on

Molly is a shallow political lightweight with marketing sensibilities equivalent to local realtors, who paint their pictures on transit benchs.

Her main "strengths" are vanity and an ability to follow orders from her handlers. There's not a creative or original thought in her mind. She's a perfect match for Bush in 2004.

7. She reminds me of a young Julie Nixon

only not nearly as smart, and her professional career consists entirely of one stint as a Republican Congressional aid.
