Politicker WA | Inside Politics for Political Insiders: "Politico: Boeing keeping McCain at arm's length in Washington
By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is facing a political headwind from the breath of Boeing here in Washington state, according to a report from Politico.com's Jeanne Cummings.

She cites the relative success of Dino Rossi (R-Sammamish) in his race to unseat Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire, and Rep. Dave Reichert's (R-Auburn) ability to keep his race a tossup in the 8th Congressional District.

Both Republicans have held polling leads during the campaign, although their opponents are currently on top.

Similar races across the country have been riding a strong wave behind Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to lean Democratic.

McCain has taken many legislative stands against Boeing, and has even mentioned them during presidential debates this fall."
