I'm having trouble thinking of any democrat politicians I could say that about, but there must be some.

I know what you mean about that Sam. Back home there are local guys who are RATS that I kinda like. We don't have many republicans running in local races at all down there so it's kind of a default one-party area. Whoever wins a RAT primary will be the only one on the ballot.

But, then I think of 'em runnin' on that ticket with the other people who are on that ticket. And I get disgusted. Personally, I wouldn't want to share the same ticket with the likes of state and national candidate so it makes me wonder why those guys do it. Lessens my regard for them quite a bit. I've told some of 'em so too.

Roger that. Some years ago I also got a chance to meet Jennifer Dunn, who just announced that she is retiring from public life and won't be running for the house again this time.

Very sad for us local republicans, but nobody can blame her. She's one of the good ones, and one of the few that seemed to never get really badly affected by her position. I had hoped that she would run for the senate and unseat Patty Murray. I think she could have easily done so. But it was not to be.

Word has it that our former Sheriff, Riechert (the one that finally caught the green river killer) is going to step in and run for her seat. He will likely win.
