Radio's Dave Ross eyes run for Congress

State Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt is courting KIRO radio talk-show host Dave Ross to run for Congress in the suburban 8th District, and Ross says he hasn't ruled out the idea.
Berendt confirmed yesterday he's preparing to pay for a poll aimed at gauging how Ross might fare if he got into the race.

"In my career, I have never closed any doors. So when someone says, 'Can we at least look into it?' OK, fine," the 52-year-old Ross said from his Mercer Island home. "I can just assume that he thinks my name recognition would be a good thing."

The 8th District, which includes much of East and South King County and East Pierce County, has been controlled by Republicans for more than two decades. But Democrats believe they have a shot this year with the retirement of U.S. Rep. Jennifer Dunn.

a total Bush minion, similar to Gale Norton. Almost anything would be an improvement. I want to listen to Dave's show this morning because Erin Hart is filling in, but I can't get that station at work!
