    What's Darcy Burner Running on?

    August 12, 10:34 PM
     
     
    I honestly haven't figured it out yet. Her 2006 effort was all about George W. Bush. Yet, her campaign never sealed the deal, failing to establish her as a reasonable alternative to the experienced and moderate record of Dave Reichert.

    Now Burner's first ad really doesn't say what this year's run is all about, other than earnestly trying to reintroduce a new persona for her.
     
    It seems increasingly impossible to continue down the path of "Reichert is a crazy conservative!" The WEA's endorsement seemed like the nail in that coffin. Now Working Mother Magazine has named Reichert to a bipartisan list of 24 "Best of Congress" awardees (Reichert is on page 8 and continues on to page 9). What a right-wing nutjob.
     
    So despite the vigorous protestations of some on the left, the public image of Reichert as a moderate Republican is not only established, but it's also increasingly firm.
     
    So what is Darcy Burner's agenda and new-experience that makes her a more worthy candidate in 2008?
