PubliCola has found FEC records showing that Susan Hutchison’s campaign manager, Jordan McCarran, has worked for Mike Huckabee and Sen Sam Brownback.
Whoops.
Hutchison, the former KIRO News anchor who’s running for King County Executive, likes to downplay her Republican credentials.
Indeed, when asked point blank by the press recently if Hutchison was a Republican, McCarran said: “She’s an independent thinker.”
Cute. But PubliCola also found that McCarran works for Dresner, Wickers & Associates, a political consulting firm whose clients include Minnesota “Sen.” Norm Coleman and Washington state’s own conservative building industry lobby, the BIAW, which campaigned heartily for GOP gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi.
I have a call into Hutchison’s campaign to ask why, if she’s not a Republican, she’s using such a partisan operative.

Wow – throw Limbaugh in there somewhere and you have pretty much all the ghouls. Geez.
I don’t think this is news to your readers. It may be to those older (much) who fondly remember her vacuous smile as she anchored KIRO news.
When, or if, she returns the call, could also ask when the “Rose Garden” campaign strategy will end?
another GOP turd…
Why is the mainstream media letting her get away with a campaign in hiding? When will she come out?
Sheesh, Josh, as successful as the Republican campaign people have been in King County, you would have shouted out in joy that she chose to work with those types. If I were a Republican, I would have hired a successful manager and that would mean a Democrat.
