As PolitickerWA.com's own Wally Edge suggested earlier, 2008 could be the year of hardball politics in the Evergreen State. Today the Washington State Democratic Party has created a website, http://www.therealrossi2008.com, knocking Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi on everything from his past statements to his policy positions and his association with national Republican officials.
The site banner contains a flash image that shows Dino Rossi morphing back and forth into President George W. Bush and the mp3 of Rossi's statement of September 11, 2007, "I've found you can do pretty much anything you want if you do it with a smile on your face. It's amazing what you can get away with if you do it with a smile on your face."
It also links to critical news stories in the local media as well as many of the Democrats' attacking press releases and youtube videos and the Gregoire campaign website. Politics, as they say, ain't bean bag.
