McGavick hopes to attract anti-Iraq war voters
Sounds like desperation to me. Anyone here thinking of voting for McGavick?

OLYMPIA - Democrats are counting on voter frustration with the war in Iraq to help win elections next week.

On Monday, Republican Mike McGavick showed he thinks it's an issue that can help boost his own bid to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell.

He launched a new 30-second TV ad he said is intended to show her views on the war lack "clarity."

-snip-

It begins with McGavick praising Bruce Guthrie, a Libertarian, and Aaron Dixon, a Green Party member, for having the "the guts" to call for an immediate troop withdrawal.

McGavick says Cantwell voted for the war and is now vague on how to proceed. He even jabs at President Bush by saying he "doesn't understand our frustrations."

1. Vote for McGavick because he criticizes Cantwell and praises Dixon?
Sure nuff that's 1 good reason to vote for him. Oh yes, partition the country and leave. Good ideas. :sarcasm:
