It's official: Sen. Maria Cantwell is getting a challenge from the Green party. Activist Aaron Dixon announced on Thursday, with an anti-war platform. Could he spoil the election for Democrat-leaning voters? Here's the logic from his speech, quoted in the P-I:
"If she was against the war, then I would be a spoiler, stealing her anti-war votes," Dixon told a roomful of supporters and news media. "If both the Republican challenger (businessman Mike McGavick) and Cantwell are in support of this war, then they are competing amongst themselves for the voters who are pro-war. I am the anti-war vote."
