Vance has got to go. I suggest Rose Strong.

I don't know much about Ms. Strong. Does she live up to her surname? Will she play hardball with the opposition? What we need is a strong, principled leader with backbone. What we need are more Dave Reickerts to run at the national level.

As far as Seattle, what can we say? The entire state is extreme and out of step because of one city with 550,000 people - 80% of the voting popluation of which re-elected McDermott. The fervor in the city is strong - one could not help to see it, and get caught up in it because of simple population density. The rest of the state has to find a way to get equally fired up. And, we need more of "us".
