Democratic challenger to Cantwell appears in Longview

Former Libertarian Mark Wilson, now Democratic challenger to Maria Cantwell, told the Cowlitz County Democrats that the U.S. should bring U.S. troops home immediately, and received applause when he called the war "illegal (and) ill-conceived." He also criticized Cantwell's support of the US Patriot Act and for Condolezza Rice as Secretary of State. Several members of the audience expressed dissatisfaction with Cantwell's voting record.
