McGavick reveals '93 DUI charge in unusual disclosure of "mistakes"

By Alicia Mundy


Republican Senate candidate Mike McGavick issued an unusual confession Thursday, discussing his failed first marriage, mistakes as a father, layoffs he executed at Safeco — and revealing a 1993 drunken-driving charge.

He also acknowledged that, while working as a political operative for then-Sen. Slade Gorton, he ran an ad that inaccurately characterized an opponent's views.

1. I don't see how this helps him. The cynical among us will say there are

worse things he is not telling us. Others will wish he had just kept most of this to himself. I can't think of any voting group that this helps him with. And how does the timeline of his divorce correspond with the DUI/partying with the new flame?

2. He sounds like presidential material to me.

:rofl:

3. He must be in Focus on the Family

Sounds like the kind of guy that James Dobson likes.
