Hmmmm.
I don't know anything about Reed.
And the mother of my friend who I used to check things out with has now graduated to Heaven!
What are your main problems with Nethercutt? Is he too blah?
A couple of things I take issue with. He went back on his promise to only run three terms. In essence, he lied. Integrity is very important in a US Senator. Second, he has been crowned by the State Republicans as the nominee before allowing the voters of this state to decide. Reed has not been able to speak at picnics, the state convention, or other party functions because he is not the pre-coronated nominee. I understood this is why we had primaries and the like so that we could decide for our selves who would be our representatives. Thirdly, I don't think he can win. He is from Eastern Washington, has a personality of a toad, and is not very charismatic. But honestly...that third issue is not as important to me as his integrity and honesty. If someone runs on a pledge...it should be abided by. If he felt like there was more to do...he should have stepped aside for a term and then run the next go around or run for higher office.
I take bigger issue with the State of Washington Republican Party's leadership. They have failed miserably as we do have a slate of potential candidates in this state, but they are not doing a very good job with recruiting quality candidates and funding candidates that can win. Vance is no better than Bonker.
