The Yakima Herald editorial condemning the DSCC for digging up dirt and smearing Rossi was weird. I wonder what the editors were thinking.
First off, either the Snohomish County Assessor and Treasurer can or cannot verify that a certain real estate firm has some unpaid property taxes. What is so outrageous about putting out that information.
Secondly, of course Rossi is an unannounced candidate. He visited DC to explore his prospects. Chris Cillizza blogged that he thinks Rossi is a likely candidate. That is how he caught the attention of the DSCC.
Do the Herald editors think that Rossi needs their protection from finger pointers checking into his BIAW and real estate developer friendships and connections?
