OLYMPIA -- Washington's gubernatorial candidates are playing the "look who's endorsing me" game today.

Republican Rob McKenna has an afternoon press conference to announce the latest round of "Democrats for McKenna" names at a Seattle cafe. One can only hope it goes smoother than the campaign's morning telephonic press conference, for which reporters were on one line for about 15 minutes with no McKenna, and the candidate and his staff were on the a different line, with no reporters.

Democrat Jay Inslee's campaign put out a "Rob endorses Jay" announcement. But it's not THAT Rob. Rather, it's Rob Hill, another Democrat who ran for governor in last month's primary. He got 3.22 percent of the vote. On Wednesday, Inslee has a press conference with folks from the clean technology at a Seattle bio-diesel facility.
