The west coast is like NYC and New England...not in tune with the real America. Here, a “green” car is a regular gasoline powered car with fewer than six cylinders.
What I am seeing out here in WA, is the unions taking over the GOP. If the unions are running into opposition from the Green Democrats, they are running their own candidate as a Republican or buying themselves an established Republican.
Last year we had two members of the Fire Fighters Union running against each other, one as a Democrat and one as a Republican. We have former heads of the teachers union running the Tea Party group and teaching the constitution course, all the while pushing the union agenda. Like I mentioned before, the former head of the WA state GOP is now a paid lobbyist for the SEIU.
What I am also seeing is that Mitt Romney was picked by the GOP establishment in this state, last year, and I think that this union strategy is part of the elect Romney plan. Someone should pin Romney down on where he stands on public sector unions.
