Lining up behind McGavick

Tacoma's News Tribune reported this morning that Gov.-in-spirit Dino Rossi has formally endorsed Mike McGavick for next year's US Senate race. Rossi, once courted to run by the NRSC himself, is likely the biggest in-party endorsement McGavick could have received and will probably put a damper on any big-name challengers thinking of entering the race. McGavick also earned the endorsements of the state's GOP Congressional delegation, announced in the same press release.
