I can imagine what Scoop would think of today's Democratic Party. He probably would have joined Zell Miller at the podium.
Given the number of votes the Libertarian candidate for governor of Washington is getting and maybe siphoning from the Republican, this would be a good time for Republicans and Libertarians in Washington state to smoke a peace pipe and find out if there is any common ground on the budget or taxes or something.
On a range of issues HMJ would have been outraged, including and especially on those relating to values and opinions on our military. Of course, it is now a different time twenty+ years past his death. But the Demo party has left behind many, many folks that Scoop represented well in Washington State. IMO Rossi now speaks for a vast majority of them.
