Fight Fire with Fire....the fight continues

With the election winding down the ads on TV and everywhere else are in full swing. And the senate race or should I say fight is in full swing as well.

"America is in trouble," Rossi told a Rotary Club luncheon crowd. "If we don't have a course correction in this election we're going to wake up 24 months from now in a country we don't even recognize.” (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2013120903_rossi10m.html)

Rossi is using the idea that he is the better of two evils, that unless a change is made there are going to be problems, and he is really positioning himself as the one who can be that change.

          “Democrats charge there is nothing fresh about Rossi, citing his connections to George W. Bush and Karl Rove to suggest he'd just hand the country back to the same group responsible for running the economy into the ground.”

          While Dino Rossi is seen as the change that we so desperately need by some Patty Murray is seen as "She is an old-fashioned, pork-barrel liberal," said Chris Vance, a Republican political consultant. "That seems out of step with the times."

And according to others she only got this job in the first place because of “sheer effort and moxie” (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2013059595_murrayprofile03m.html)

While each candidate is being looked at in a certain light there views and opinions seem to provide a little bit of understanding into who they really are.

For example:

-Dino Rossi wants to keep out illegal immigrants with “a tall fence with a tall gate.”

-Patty Murray apposes building a fence around the Mexico border.

-Murray voted against declaring English the nation’s official tongue as well.

And those are just a few; they disagree on taxes, abortion, and the economy. So really you’re either on one side or the other, their isn’t much of a middle ground in this election.

It so close that the big guys are starting to come in to influence everyone”

“President Barack Obama was in Seattle Thursday - his second campaign visit for Murray in as many months and former President Bill Clinton was in Everett for the Democrat earlier in the week. On Friday former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao stumped for Rossi, visiting local business Dunn Lumber and meeting with reporters.”
