McGavick Should Go Positive--On Himself

This is going to be a hard year for Republicans to win tight races, whether or not they revealed all of the bad things that they have done.

In his first television commercial Mike "!" McGavick told us that when he was a kid he put a skateboard through his neighbor's front window. (They had skateboards in 1960s Seattle?). Then a few weeks ago he admitted that he was arrested for a DUI, and maybe wasn't the best husband/father.

Now he is falling in the polls from 6% 22 days ago to 17% this week.

We can't help but think that he should start focusing more on his good qualities, instead of all of his mistakes.

Rather than telling everyone that while he was CEO of Safeco he let a few hundred of his employees believe that they wouldn't lose their jobs, only to turn around and fire them, how about, "I make great tasting pancakes."

Instead of admitting that he knowingly ran a deceitful political advertisement eighteen years ago, why not instead send out a press release claiming that he loves nothing more then a Sunday at the zoo.

It's those little things about politicians that voters like.
