| Description | As the campaign season draws to a close, questions get repetitive and candidates give programmed answers. But attorney-general candidates Rob McKenna and Deborah Senn both were caught off-guard yesterday when they were asked something straight out of the funny pages.
"If you were a cartoon character, which one would you be, and why?" The written question came from within the audience of Seattle Rotarians, one of only two queries during an event advertised as a debate but truncated into more of an oddity.
"Linus," answered McKenna, because the Peanuts character is serious but with a sense of humor, and others seek him out for advice.
"Supergirl," answered Senn, who revealed she was barred as a girl from reading comic books and had to sneak over to a friend's house to peruse the pages of "Superman."
Before the moment of levity, or embarrassment, or whatever, both candidates introduced themselves to the hundreds who had gathered in a downtown hotel ballroom for the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club of Seattle, a service group composed of some of the region's most prominent business, professional and civic leaders. |
