DSCC Digging Through Rossi Records

The DSCC is taking the possibility of a threat to Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) seriously enough to begin an extensive and detailed examination of her potential opponent's business records.

The party committee recently dispatched a team of researchers to WA, where they scoured public information for details on ex-state Sen. Dino Rossi's (R) involvement in a real estate investment company, a source with knowledge of the research project tells Hotline OnCall.

Rossi, who lost GOV bids in '04 and '08 by slim margins, is not even a declared candidate. But he's talking like one, and a former close advisor said the contest is weighing heavily on his mind.

"I don't know if he's going to run but he's certainly giving it a great deal of consideration. Six weeks, 2 months ago, it wasn't on his mind," said J. Vander Stoep, a top WA GOP strategist and attorney who ran Rossi's races. "Now that there have been a lot of polls and a lot of interest, he's definitely thinking about it."

i am getting the news from you im not getting anywhere else
good work

gotta be something in there somewhere. I wish he would just go away. far far away.

and yes, I'm completely serious.

Rossi won't jump in the race. I'm hoping the DSCC is doing sufficient research on Benton, the most likely R to survive the primary even if Rossi entered the race.
