The American Prowler chastises retired Washington Sen. Slade Gorton for giving the wrong advice to Rep. Jennifer Dunn, who was being pressured by the White House to run against the vulnerable Patty Murray. Gorton said, “Go with your heart.” So Dunn won’t run, and George Nethercutt probably will. Gorton was right to give the advice, and Dunn to follow it. Our nation would be a lot better if American elected officials more often followed their hearts rather than the dictates of party machinery.
