See this for a good overview of Pete: < http://www.slweekly.com/editorial/2005/feat_2005-06-30.cfm > If you buy what this story says (not that I'm suggesting its not to be bought), then Pete *tried* to get someone with political experience to run against Hatch so Ashdown and others could back them financially. It seems nobody was willing to step up to the plate - even with the promise of some funding. This much is true: Pete's got a huge uphill climb ahead of him. If nothing else, he will gain tremendous name recognition which will give him a significant edge should he decide to later run for one of those more-local offices you suggested. -=Fozz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] is Doran L.
