As reported here, Aaron Dixon - as expected - announced his candidacy for US Senate under the Green Party banner, saying that he isn't a 'spoiler' candidate as he runs against "Can't-do-well", but that he's the anti-war candidate, offering Washington voters a choice over both "Can't-do-well" and McGavik, both of whom Dixon characterized as being "pro-war". (That's a problem?)
Dixon is a popular figure in the left-leaning circles here in Seattle, having been an activist for many years, and the Dems here should be getting nervous that he will siphon off enough votes from "Can't-do-well" to hand McGavik the election. We can probably expect a two-pronged attack campaign from "Can't-do-well" against both McGavik and Dixon, as we head into this years election.
Will Dixon prove to be a 'spoiler'? Only time, and the mobilization of the radical anti-war left in favor of Dixon over "Can't-do-well", will tell.
