Green Party Senate candidate Aaron Dixon was arrested this afternoon after his campaign workers say he tried to get enter the KING-TV building to participate in a debate.

Seattle police wouldn't confirm whether it was Dixon who was arrested. They said only that someone was taken into custody at 2 p.m. for investigation of trespassing.

Police spokeswoman Debra Brown said the person was asked to leave the lobby of the Seattle television station, but refused.

Republican Mike McGavick, Democrat Sen. Maria Cantwell and Libertarian Bruce Guthrie were at KING-TV to tape a debate that aired Tuesday night.

1. 900 plus citations

years ago, the news was he had over 900 citations. It would be something to do an evaluation, detailed that is, how it breaks out to what is relevent and what isn't. The police in that area have a spotty history,too. If one does not live in the area, its hard to know what absurdity is passing for normal.
The interview he had at 9am on KUOW,was a disappointment, when he did not grab the opportunity when Bolivia was discussed. He could have mentioned that the contract with Bechtel made it illegal to collect rainwater. No wonder there was a kick the bums out and a new government.

2. I heard about that

I tried to imagine doing that and figure it took some courage and conviction to do it.
