Our man in NYC, David Postman, reports that Dino Rossi was the Washington state delegation breakfast speaker this morning. Rossi, who's running for governor, is hitting a lot of Republican Governor's Association events, meeting people, being shown off and talking to Republican governors about how they won.
Rossi told the story of meeting Jerry Miller, former chair of King County Republicans as well as the Snohomish County Republicans. Miller, Postman reports, is the "snappiest dresser" of the Washington bunch, which, let's face it, is a matter of degree, like calling someone in the Texas Republican delegation the "most liberal." Today Miller's wearing a "refrigerator white" suit. "You're going to be governor," he told Rossi upon their third meeting some years ago, Rossi said.
Today is "Compassion Day." The Washington delegation went to a senior citizens' home in Queens to do arts and crafts. A call to the Margaret Tietz Center for Nursing Care, originally created for Holocaust survivors in the early 70s, confirmed that about 50 delegates from the Washington and Wisconsin delegations showed up.
Just checking.
