| Rossi goes on attack against Murray |
| 2010-09-17 |
| Just a few days after two public polls showed Republican Dino Rossi trailing the loathsome Sen. Patty Murray in the competitive Washington Senate race, the GOP nominee went on the attack in a blistering television advertisement released Thursday. Good idea. Rip the hair off her back! Although Rossi's campaign has frequently knocked Murray in the local press, the ad marks the first time he is publicly attacking her on television, calling her by name and identifying Murray as "part of the problem" on Capitol Hill. That's it? "Part of the problem?" How about her opinion that Binny had been at work "for decades building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities. And the people are extremely grateful. He's made their lives better. We have not done that." I think that's on tape someplace. The spot hits the air just days after two surveys showed Rossi trailing Murray by 9 points in the Senate contest: An Elway Research survey showed Murray leading Rossi, 50 percent to 41 percent, while a CNN/Time poll showed Murray leading Rossi, 53 percent to 44 percent. The polls show Murray pulling away after previous polls over the past few months indicated the race was locked in a statistical dead heat. That's because it's Washington State. They're looking forward to becoming Caliphornia or Cuyahoga County. National Republicans have recently put an extra focus on in the Washington Senate race in the wake of Tuesday's primary debacle in Delaware. The GOP was confident it could win the Delaware Senate seat with moderate Rep. Mike Caste as its nominee, but perennial conservative candidate Christine O'Donnell's victory in the Republican primary almost ensures the seat will stay in Democratic hands this November. |

| #3 Christine O'Donnell's victory in the Republican primary almost ensures the seat will stay in Democratic hands this November. Shira Toeplitz of Politico, if you are so sure of this happening, how do you spin the fact that she has raised $1,400,000 in three days? |

No bias there. Nope. Nope. /sarc |
