Senator Maria Cantwell visited Seattle’s central Garfield High School with rising-star Senator Barack Obama on Saturday. This column skewers her for supporting the Iraq war and big business -- undermining the people she met at the school. Green Party challenger Aaron Dixon (see this earlier post) grew up in the neighborhood and makes opposition to Cantwell's support for the war and business record his centerpiece.
With liberal friends like these, Cantwell may not need much from Republican challenger Mike McGavick.
