2010 begins: RNCC issues first post-election press releases attacking Baird, Larsen

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

The 2010 congressional elections may be two years down the road, but the National Republican Congressional Committee is wasting no time getting started on their Herculean task of weakening Washington's strong Democratic incumbents.

As noted here on PolitickerWA.com last month, all but one incumbent in the state won re-election by wide margins that held throughout their home districts with the sitting U.S. Representative winning nearly every county by more than twenty points.

The RNCC is attempting to connect local politicians to news stories about ethics issues involving Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), one of the top Democrats in the House. They pushed Rangel-related stories a lot during the 2008 campaign, though they barely saw any life here in Washington state, some 2,800 miles away from Washington, D.C. and Rangel's New York City district.

Below is the key statement in the press release pertaining to Rep. Brian Baird (D-Vancouver).

"Brian Baird was elected to Congress with the help of dirty money from one of Washington, D.C.'s most blatantly corrupt legislators," said NRCC spokesman Ken Spain. "If Baird truly is the ‘independent voice' that he claimed to be on the campaign trail, he'll come forward and join the calls for Charlie Rangel to step down from his committee chairmanship for the benefit of the American people. So far, though, Baird has been conspicuously silent, and he's sending a clear signal to the people of Washington that his idea of being an ‘independent voice' is shirking his responsibilities to his constituents in an effort to stay in good graces with crooked political insiders."

An e-mail sent out regarding Rep. Rick Larsen's (D-Arlington) association with Rangel says virtually the same thing, as do a number of e-mails sent out about congressmen in a number of other states.
