Most (maybe all) of the many pro Budd or negative Beasley ads I receive daily are from a couple PACs - one being the Senate Leadership Fund.
I expect we are all seeing the same ads with only the name and photos changed

200 quatloos says that when she loses, she refuses to concede, because she’ll claim the election was rigged and leftists bussed in voters from somewhere.

AFAIK, Loren Culp is still claiming the gubernatorial election he lost by 13 points was rigged.

1.7 Million people voted for Culp in the general. That is disturbing.

For Culp? Or against Inslee?

The R primary votes pretty closely matched the R General percentage. And in that primary, 160K voted for _Tim fucking Eyman_, arrrrgh!

The main argument I’ve seen is that it was a joke that got out of hand, or possibly a bit of trolling to see if people would actually believe it.
There’s actually a whole Wikipedia article on the concept, detailing its history.

Ultimately, it’s all part of the current anti-woke panic and pushing of conspiracy theories to the mainstream.

We have the same claim in Colorado from the Republican nominee for Governor. I think it’s in the GOP talking points. Anything to scare the rubes.

One thing I’ve noticed about Tiffany Smiley is that she’s campaigning _hard_ on the fact that she’s “not a career politician”. As if that is something that should disqualify a person from holding office.
She has also mentioned that she’s a stay-at-home mom. And nothing against that in itself, I know that taking care of a house and kids is a full-time job (or actually a bunch of jobs; caregiver, housecleaner, cook, and so on). But it’s certainly not going to provide experience you’ll need to be a US Senator.

Maybe that means that, once elected, she plans on staying home. 😄

Wouldn’t getting elected to the US Senate mean that she could no longer be a stay-at-home mother? I imagine being in the Senate is something more than a forty-hour-a-week job.

Here is her story:
[https://www.smileyforwashington.com/about](https://www.smileyforwashington.com/about)
It’s not like she hasn’t accomplished anything in life. Her story is actually kind of cool and touching. She’s from rural Washington where she grew up on a farm, and became a nurse. In 2005, she left her career to take care of her husband who was blinded in Iraq. She supported him as he went to Duke and got his MBA.
It would make a good made-for-TV movie on Lifetime. But nothing in there says she will be effective in the US Senate. By her own words, she’s very antagonistic against the federal government. My guess is that if she gets elected (no fucking way) that she’d be another MAGA gadfly whose career is about nothing but attacking the Democrats. After all, her campaign ads boil down only to, “Patty Murray is destroying Seattle”. There’s really nothing in any of them that say what she’ll actually do in the Senate.

In her defense:

Note that originally that was a disparaging remark made _against_ her that she co-opted and embraced as an ironic slogan.
When she ran for US Senate for the first time, she had 4 years of experience on the board of directors for the Shoreline School District and another 4 years in the Washington State Senate. Her qualifications were just a bit better than what Smiley has.

I probably should have made clear I agree with all the negative comments about Ms. Smiley. That one just reminded me of Murray’s first campaign.

There’s been a Reich wing commercial playing recently depicting clips of crimes in progress, and the narrator is totally using a ‘You need to be afraid!’ voice. I’ll have to see the commercial again, but I think there’s a noticeable amount of red, white, and black in it. That reminds me of a certain flag.
My biggest take-away, which I’ve probably mentioned to many times to my wife, is [pointing finger] ‘FEAR! FEAR! BE AFRAID! FEEEEEEAAAAAAR!!!’
[NB: This is not a Smiley commercial; just a ‘Democrats want to destroy the country and kill you’ one.]

Whackdoodle Empty G is a Representative without doing any actual work, how much harder would it be to be a Senator who does no work?
