U.S. Sen. Susan Hutchison?

Hutchinsin Could WIN even if she loses!

Over at HA, Goldy speculates about Susan Hutchinson, the blow dry talking head whose "we lost" party I just photographed.   Susan won't be our County Executive because King County voters did not buy her "I am not a radical Republican" meme.   Goldy was right on that one.

I think Goldy is right about Susie's next goal too.  She could run for Senate,  But, that loss may be a victory for the Repubs!

Susan is smooth, polished, .. all things that the most recent fave of the Radical Right, Dino Rossi,  is not. She is pretty and pretty shallow unlike the last Republican Senate candidate, Mike McGavick.  McGavick is a very brght guy.  he was qualified to be a Senator. she is not.  That shallowness, however, is an advantage for the pretty lady.  McGavick was bright enough to understand that lots of Rightie Radical Dogma is stupid.  The McGavick campaign was a sort of role playijng.

Susan does not need to create a phony right personality.  She is not radical, she is just shallow enough not to know the difference.

This makes her an ideal rightie candidate in WA state of 2012. We have a lot of devout radical remnant righties.  Sure, we just passed a civil union law but liberals  ought to look at the R71 map .. red from the cascades to Columbia!

Candidate Susan Hutchinson's managers would spin her loss in the County race by blaming the loss on Seattle radicals.  Suzie the business woman (even of that is just an act) would be make issues out of Boeing, the effects of Obamacare on the unborn, and wrap herself in the the I-hate Seattle flag.

There is another critical issue … the Gregoire/Inslee effect.   Suzie can run for Seanhtor against our unopular Governor.  If Gregoire is seen as running, rather than turning the next run over to Jay Inslee, it is not hard to see the Radical Repubs running the Senate race as a turn the lady dems out rodeo.

Still, there rally is not a lot of there to Suzie .. cetrainly she is no professiohnal politician as Patty Murry has become.  The lady in the tennis shoes would wallop the lady in the elegant suit. SH would lose BUT this would cost Patty and the DNC $$ and effort better spent elsewhere.
