To win a seat in the U.S. Senate this fall, Mike McGavick needs to persuade Washington's middle-of-the-road voters AND every conservative Republican.
On issue after issue, this requires contortions. The Stranger has a succinct report on how McGavick is finessing his support for teaching creationism in schools. He's repeating the performance on other subjects at campaign stops around the state.
To keep the effort going, McGavick announced on Friday that he is loaning his campaign $2 million. The money, of course, is part of the mega-million payday McGavick got from his time as CEO of Safeco. Thanks to Safeco, McGavick can more than match the personal fortune Senator Maria Cantwell used in 2000 to defeat McGavick's old boss, Slade Gorton.
