What's up with Whatcom, anyway? Too close to the border or something?
Most of us are tearing our hair out because of Western Washington University. Sigh! Throw Bellingham in the lake along with Seattle (after the FReepers get out)! We're stuck with those "brains full of mush" at the college.
Western Washington U students have figured out how important they can be in elections and they know how to play the game. I suspect teachers are involved and the always active Dem County party works it hard. And, it probably does help to be in proximity to O'Canada. The GOP would do well to maximize their GOTV drive in this county to help offset the #'s.
