Despite his BA in economics and a law degree, Inslee is one of the dumbest people I've ever met. He hasn't had an original thought in years. That makes him the perfect Dem politician I guess.
But I digress....
He was elected in the 4th district an democrat with eastern Washington values, then swept out in 94, and moved back over to Bainbridge Island and was elected to several terms as a true liberal democrat.
I have talked to him several times and heard him speak several more and your assessment is the same as mine...
