I wish I shared your optimism. But these Seattle liberals are extreme and irrational. Yard signs in West Seattle read "No Iraq War", well after war efforts were already underway. "Impeach Bush" and other irrational, kneejerk slogans abound. Greg Nickels, an extreme left-wing wacko, beat out a more moderate Democrat for the Mayoral race in 2000(or 2001?).

Eastern Washington should really be a separate state; it's not fair to them not to have any representation at the national level.

Nethercutt is going to ignore Seattle and focus on the Suburbs and winning huge margins in Eastern Washington.

That should be enough for a narrow victory.

I'm also not optimistic about this race. Jennifer Dunn should have been the nominee. George Nethercutt has an outside chance, but mostly because Murray is such an airhead.

Some people in Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon want to form their own state. That would good as long as the 2 western parts combined as well so their would be only 2 rat senators instead of 4.
