Won't happen, they've gerrymandered the worst of the worst of the liberals into his district, and that makes it possible for a Republican to get elected in one of the surrounding districts, even though it hasn't happened much lately.
The very best thing the media could do with this story is to ignore it entirely. Baghdad Jim's counting on the media to go ballistic on this, and turn out even more voters in his hippie district. Believe me, if any Republican ever had a serious chance of getting 45 percent of the vote in that district, he'd have to be so damn RINO that he'd make Arlen Specter look like Rush Limbaugh.
The center of Seattle and some of its surrounding neighborhoods are beyond hope. I'm glad to have a Jennifer Dunn from an adjoining district, even if we have to sacrifice one House seat forever.
