Smith: Losing Sleep Over Citizens Party Revival

Ninth District Republicans can be sure of one thing, Rep. Adam Smith wants the novice, Basler, in the Top 2 rather than formerly G.O.P. candidate ten years ago, but now Citizens Party candidate, Mark Greene.  Smith, who you just know prefers an opposite major party novice as his General Election opponent, is probably worried that Mark Greene will make the Top 2 and thus would become the first 3rd party candidate to get on the General Election ballot by overcoming a major party candidate, as Smith realizes that a strong coalition of Republicans, Democrats, other Third Parties, and Independents can send him scurrying to the White House begging for an ambassadorial job if he is sent packing, if not to K Street where he would be welcomed as a lobbyist.  The cover has finally been blown on Smith's votes in Congress that are completely out of touch with the wishes of his constituency, and Smith's last hope is for the loyal opposition to put up the same old typecast candidate, similar to the election of 2012, that only one side will vote for, and not the coalition candidate that Smith knows could actually win.

Mark Greene probably won the G.O.P. primary in the Old 9th District in 2004 [http://partyofcommons.blogspot.com/2013/02/major-election-irregularities-graph_26.html], and he's counting on Republicans and others to put him in the Top 2 through this year's August primary.

Our Washington State Lieutenant Governor Candidate Blog

There will be a special place to write about the Lieutenant Governor 2016 election, which I'm in, and specifically Washington state issues and matters, generally, even when the election is over.  All of the recent Lieutenant Governor posts on FW Politics  will be carried over to the new blog, Washingtonian.   I am proud to be a natural-born American and a Washingtonian, and I will need your vote to stand up for the Common Man in our state and our nation.   [Originally posted on Washingtonian on April 29, 2016; revised on May 26, 2016.]

With the Press, Again

As long-time readers of my blogs know, my relationship with the media has been acrimonious at times, though I realize, of course, that the press is an essential part of politics and democracy in our nation, and of course the relationship between politicians and the press is going to be often disharmonious because they have distinctly different interests.  That doesn't mean that one or both sides cannot be at fault at varying times, and both sides often are. So with all that in mind, my first thought today is, though I am sure that the H-1B system for hiring temporary foreign workers has been widely abused, there is a big distinction between that system and the system for permanent residents being in the job market.  In the interest of my views being as publicly accurate as possible, I'll say this: I more or less support the law that infers that official permanent residents should be treated...
