"Rossi pulls in big donors, too"

Seattle P.I- "Rossi pulls in big donors, too"

Although this article discusses only the fundraising of the Dino Rossi, I think theres and underlying message. Rossi has made an outright effort to seem like he's the "middle-class" governor who has sent a message saying that his primary resource of funding is from middle-class americans. This is a smart move on his part, if only it were true. The real facts show that Rossi has received major donations from lobbyists and oil companies, the people that have made him rich. This knocks at Rossi's credibility in my opinion because if you he's going to persuade the public by saying he's "the middle-class vote" he better mean it, and it's obvious that the facts don't support his persuasion. Of course, no politician is going to be able to fund a campaign solely on minor donations but the fact that he's trying to use that as a campaign mechanism is hard to believe. On another note, why should we elect a different governor when Gregoir are current governor is doing a good job?
