I've Been Working on the Railroad

Today's Seattle Times reports that Ron Sims' gubernatorial campaign will tout his leadership of Sound Transit

"I'm going to do the same thing with the state of Washington," Sims vows.
One can only wonder what that might entail. Here are some possibilities:

* Every public university in the state will get a $7 billion light rail line that starts 3 miles from campus and ends 3 miles from the nearest airport.

* The state's motto will be changed from "Alki" to "Two-thirds the value for twice the price"

* The state will sell a whole mess of bonds it doesn't need in order to justify a tax increase that can never be repealed.

* Tunnels will be dug all over the state just for the hell of it.

* The elected legislature will be dissolved and replaced by an 18-person board whose members are all appointed by the governor.

Keep up the good work, Ron.

1. Dude, Shark, why are you talking down Sims? I'm sure we all know he'd be a lousy governor, but the question is whether the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS know it. And I hope they don't, because Dino would beat this guy straight-up -- but Chris Gregoire is a whole other matter.

Believe me, I think Dino's the real deal and could knock off Chris in a close fight. But let's play the averages here:

Ron Sims for Governor!!

2. The problem is... What if Ron Sims gets into office? He seems to be avoiding saying the income tax word in his ads... The Republicans haven't exactly had a good rep with getting governors into office.
