The WA GOP never stops surprising me. First it looks like they aren't running anyone at all for state office--and it still looks that way, except for governor. Everybody runs for governor, it's the state pastime.
Then it looks like they won't endorse anyone for governor: not the old white ex-cop with a decent campaign chest. And certainly not the Black guy with a record and a tiny campaign chest.
Surprise! They endorse Black guy.
He won't survive the primary anyway.
