Rossi to Stop Breaking PDC Law

This morning Dino Rossi announced he'd stop using his Idea Bunk Bank as an illegal stealth campaign and officially become a candidate for the office he's been running for since 2004.

Dino Rossi said to KOMO and the AP:
"In 2004, I was introducing myself to the public and probably 80 percent of the people thought `Dino Rossi' was some kind of wine," ...

Seattle Times chief political reporter David Postman has the details... well some of the details. It seems Rossi's campaign is already playing games with the media; Postman tells us:

I asked Rossi's campaign staff yesterday if it'd be possible to get a copy of the remarks this morning. His spokeswoman, Jill Strait, said they would not be releasing anything other than a video of his speech that would be posted on the campaign website later.

But apparently some reporters were given an advance look at the speech. (I'm not sure what I did to already be out of favor even before Rossi announces.)

Expect the WA GOP to begin an all-out disinformation campaign, attempting to cast doubt on the integrity of our voting system. They know they can only win by intimidating some citizens and preventing them from voting. Bet on hearing ridiculous lies about ballot box stuffing, dead-people and illegal-aliens voting. You'll be hearing the Republicans screeching about ID's and addresses, threatening voter challenges and law suits... count on it!
