It's definitely Politicking Season with canidates all marked for their October Suprises. It was made apparent today with the cold weather and the appearance of the first attack ad by a group hiding behind the label "Better Future for Washington". Oddly enough, this negative mail piece was mailed from Seattle (a.k.a. likely a special interest group).
The point being...the Negative Attacks have begun and we have to put up with them until the elections are over.
This particular piece attacked Senator Don Benton. I'm going to keep a list of victims of the hit pieces because I will probably end up voting for the candidates who do not take part in these partisan attacks. I've seen enough with the Wyden vs Smith tv commercials--and they don't even live in Vancouver.
