You missed an opportunity here. The question that needs to be answered is: ‘Washington state needs to accomplish the following and which candidate is going to make it happen?’ You know what Maria’s record is [so] this is a tremendous opportunity for Mike because there is so much we must do. Quite frankly, based on Maria’s record, I would vote for Chippy the Sea Lion instead of her [because] rebels without a cause just do not get very far in Washington, D.C. The voters of Washington state have a choice this time. [You] can help by covering what is at stake and where we need to go. I will look forward to your next issue.

Reading with interest the cover story on your October issue: “Marketing McGavick.” Just wondering: will you run a companion “Marketing Cantwell” piece in the next issue?

EDITORS NOTE: Washington CEO planned to do a story on Maria Cantwell to accompany the McGavick piece, but she declined to talk to us.
