The personal attacks have begun

As reported here, Washington State Dem Party chief Dwight Pelz has filed a complaint with the FEC over what the Dems describe as Senate hopeful Mike McGavik's "golden parachute" he received from his former employer, Safeco Insurance.

They allege that McGaviks "golden parachute" amounts to a campaign contribution from Safeco Insurance, which if it were true, would be illegal, and both McGavik and Safeco would then need to be held accountable.

But, contrary to what Pelz alleges, this isn't a direct campaign contribution from Safeco to McGavik, which the FEC will likely rule. It looks like this more of a "wishful thinking" attack by the state Dems against a strong candidate for "Can't-do-well's" Senate seat to me.

What's the matter, Dwight? Jealous?
