Shark, I'm curious what your thoughts are on Mark Vaska, the other candidate for AG.

Vaska is liked in certain Seattle circles. He did some legal work on transit projects for Sound Transit. That is primarily how he made his reputation.

Beyond those circles, he doesn't have anything that would be more impressive than any other lawyer licensed in Washington. Many Seattle lawyers and judges have had statewide campaigns sink in the primary because they have relied too much on Seattle connections, money, and events. Vaska will be no different.

I've also met Mike Vaska.

He's a nice person, but I think McKenna is a stronger candidate. I find disingenuous Vaska's campaign pitch that he's "an experienced attorney, not a professional politician" and his rhetorical question about the A-G office "Why should it be a politician's job?" (see here)

It's a politician's job because it is elected by the people to enforce the state's laws (which are drafted by other politicians) and to provide legal counsel to the legislature, governor and state agencies (politicians, all). Any allocation of office resources, staff time, etc. is inherently a political decision. The AG is a politician, pure and simple. Any politician who tells you that they're not a politician is simply making a political argument to conceal the rest of their political agenda. That's not a good way to establish credibility.

Vaska is running ads but not visiting anywhere outside of Seattle. A recent articel in the Tri-Cities hints that Vaska has not been west of the mountains.

It kinda reminds you of the book, "Where's Waldo?" Where's Vaska?? You can't have a credible campaign for a statewide office if you are holed up in Seattle. The ads he is running are more hit pieces than helpful. That's part of politics but it won't endear him to the Republican party if he chooses to run in another year.

Although I usually vote Democratic, I had to vote Republican because I wanted to vote for Rob. I think he's Hot! And he also seems like a responsible and enthusiastic man destined for politics. But mostly I think he's Hot in that nerdy way that always gets me going!
