Alice Woldt

State House candidate Alice Woldt apparently flunked her candidate interview with the Seattle Times:

When progressives fight, it's not a pretty sight, but the attempt to unseat state Rep. Helen Sommers in Seattle's hard-left Queen Anne-Magnolia-Ballard neighborhoods has dimensions for the state. Apparently not pure enough, Sommers is being challenged by Alice Woldt and her big-union supporters. An eight-page pamphlet went out last week that is an expensive hit piece on one of the state's most respected lawmakers.

If voters in the 36th District buy this one, they should line up to buy the Fremont Bridge. When Woldt was asked at The Times editorial endorsement meeting what she thought of the campaign mailing, incredibly, she said she had not seen it or read it. Talk about implausibility.

Alice Woldt's entire campaign platform is also implausible. From her plan to simultaneously raise and lower the sales tax, to her Lunatarian foreign policies that favor closer ties to Saddam, Osama and Fidel, to her education reforms that are designed to produce more students like her own son.
