In general, I don't think so. But some urban districts are hopeless for R's. (For example, some state legislative districts in Seattle routinely go 80%+ dem.) It's difficult to recruit good candidates for a seat that is hopeless.
I didn’t vote this time around. I didn’t get involved in the causcus this past spring, either. There were so many names on the ballot, I’m sure it was done this way to make it confusing.
Oh, I knew who the candidates were, but I don’t like the way it is handled. I’ll wait until November and put my money behind the most conservative Republicans, like Clint Didier.
The Republicans in Cowlitz County, where I live, are hopeless. Tea Party candidates are shunned and no one, NO ONE, has bothered to contact me even though I’ve complained that my late mother, who was a lifelong Republican and dead six years, is possibly “resurrected” and voting as a dead Democrat.
Do you know what those idiots told me? Don’t make trouble. Uh, wrong answer!
