Is There Any Way We Can Make The Big Tents Smaller?

This isn’t on the same level as the latest mortification of the Volunteer State, but is like a delicate lilting counterpoint: the Washington GOP has apparently accidentally nominated Bruce Miller (or metric equivalent) for a state position. Wanting to field some candidate – any candidate – they neglected to actually consider his platform, and the results are – well, see for yourselves.

How often does this happen? The guy in Tennessee is running against a safe incumbent, this fellow is going against a three-term winner; presumably no sensible career politican wants to get set up for a fall in races like these. So I imagine there are lots of eccentric major-party candidates out there. Please keep your eyes open. (Especially you, WWB.)
