Democrats rally behind their 'mom in tennis shoes,' Sen. Patty Murray

Sen. Patty Murray knows what an uphill fight is like. Running for her local school board years ago, the Washington State Democrat adopted the jibe of a political opponent: “Just a mom in tennis shoes.”

Sen. Murray parlayed that local post into success in the state Senate and then three terms in the US Senate – she won her last reelection by a very comfortable 12 percentage points – and her fourth-ranking position among the Senate’s Democratic leadership.

But today, Murray – five feet tall in those tennis shoes – is running hard against tough GOP opponent Dino Rossi in a region of the country where moderate Republicans have done very well in the past.

>>...a region of the country where moderate Republicans have done very well in the past.<<

Yeah, the 1960’s.

[SandRat]

Send Murray to the unemployment line on Nov 2nd!

[wally_bert]

How about to Leavenworth or air drop her on a one way ticket to the paradise her hero OBL built? One pair of sneakers ought to last her a while.

[Boogieman]

“Yeah, the 1960’s.”

Didn’t Rossi basically win the Governorship twice in recent years and have the election stolen from him during the recounts?

By sheer coincidence, I had just finished reading Ann Coulter’s article, “Patty Murray, the Stupidest Person in America” http://www.anncoulter.com/ before reading this article. If this were a wine tasting it would be sampling a Pommard (2005) followed by Quaker State (10W40).

I'm not going to waste any more time ever reading anything from the Christian Science Monitor.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Poor “mom in tennis shoes” and her “uphill fight.” You wouldn’t think she was a hack whose been in office for two decades.

Why is there no barf alert on this? I’m gonna puke after reading this arse-kissing puff piece POS article.

Actually, I have found the Christian Science Monitor to be far less biased than most of the rest of the MSM.

I still read the New York Times and the Washington Post, even though I know that they are as tied to the Democrat party as the Pravda was tied to the Soviet Communist party.
