Wilson claims he can beat both Cantwell and McGavick

Former Libertarian and former Green Mark Wilson is running "to keep the seat for the Democrats in a Republican led federal government."

No, really. See, its like this. Cantwell lost her liberal base by voting for the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, say Wilson supporters. Wilson thinks he can reclaim that base and thus beat McGavick. This is a "blue state" after all. So far he's raised $9,800. Cantwell has raised 8 million.

The Olympian reports Wilson as saying: "Retaining this seat is the unified goal.... But I can reach across to Greens and Libertarians and even disaffected Republicans."

Methinks the voters will have to look long and hard to see his hand.
