Drescher is Probably Not a (D) [as in Democrat]
In the '09 "non-partisan" King County Council primary for Council District Nine, 92% of the electorate voted for either of 2 Republicans, despite that the third candidate (Mark Greene) was an independent. Many Democrats thought that one of the three candidates was a (D), because she made a seemingly concerted effort to cloak herself that way and received the endorsements of nonsensical so-called alternative news sources that usually support (D's), though actually she was an avid supporter of then Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R). This tactic successfully got the Palin fan into the general election with Reagan Dunn, whom she was soundly defeated by.
The moral of that story is that voters in the Newcastle City Council election for Position 6 should be aware of the strange bedfellows-type endorsements of "Blue Dogs," like Adam Smith, and charlatan turncoats, like Rodney Tom, that happen to have (D's) after their names, because council candidate John Drescher supported Senator John McCain (R) for president and has a testimonial on the front page of his campaign site from an anti-apartments city commissioner. This is hardly "Ripley's Believe It or Not," but a little tricky to get a handle on, nonetheless.
