NetherCutt came on very strong towards the end of the campaign, and he's now known statewide. He has a much better chance of winning in 2006.
>>NetherCutt came on very strong towards the end of the campaign....
He did? The most current vote totals on the Washington Secretary of State website show Nethercutt's percentage at less than 43%. Nethercutt got about 70,000 less votes than Bush (who is generally dispised in Western Washington) and about 112,000 less than Rossi. Sad to say but Nethercutt never threatened Osama Patty. Nethercutt did little better than a back-bencher state senator would have done.
In 2006, if Rossi runs against Cantwell, he wins. If Nethercutt runs against Cantwell, she wins.
