On Civil Rights: Patriot Act is no longer an issue

The most vulnerable incumbent Democrat who joined the PATRIOT filibuster is Washington's Maria Cantwell. But Mike McGavick, her millionaire Republican challenger, isn't making the PATRIOT Act an issue. McGavick's campaign staff didn't comment when Cantwell cast her vote, and they're not planning on it in February. "Two years ago the PATRIOT Act was a polarizing issue," says McGavick's staff. "But unless something changes and the public goes crazy about it I don't think it will be an issue for us." Source: David Weigel, Reason Magazine Jan 19, 2006
