My local pal Matt Rosenberg is blogging up a storm these days. In addition to writing his own fine blog Rosenblog, he's also a contributor to RedState.org, The Political State Report and best of all, he's one of my co-conspirators over at Sound Politics.

Check out Matt's piece on Dino Rossi, who gets both my vote (and my bet, if I were a betting man) to be Washington's next governor. [For those who don't mind downloading 1MB jpegs, there is this photo I took of Dino giving a stump speech on an actual stump! and this photo that Andy MacDonald took of two generations of Sharkanskys standing with Dino]

Matt also responds to the Seattle Weekly's inability to nominate a Best Local Conservative. Matt's a modest guy, he should have included himself in the list of best local conservative bloggers.
