Cantwell's management questioned

The wildly liberal Seattle Stranger took another swipe at Cantwell, noting that McGavick hires local talent and Cantwell taps the D.C. worker pool. This may not seem like a big deal, but the Stranger points out locals would have known that Garfield High was not the place to hold a rally last month. The rag even throws a bone to the Dixon campaign, noting that the Iraq War is Cantwell's Achille's heel and Dixon is an anti-war candidate. Well, the recently announced Libertarian candidate, Bruce Guthrie of Bellingham, is also an anti-war candidate.

So, its begining to look like the Senate race could well be a referendum on the war. Stay tuned.
