Dino Rossi announced he's picked up the endorsement of Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who is one of the most visible and vocal fiscal conservatives in the Senate.

Paul Akers has a "meet and greet" later this week at a private residence in Spokane. It's scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at 7411 E. 44th Ave.

Clint Didier released over the weekend a tough Internet video attacking Rossi, which seems to get some of its inspiration from that SNL Weekend Update routine: "Really".
