This could turn out to be a banner year for the GOP in Washington... We held onto the two open GOP seats and added a solid, young, impressive Attorney General (Rob McKenna) and perhaps a solid, young, impressive governor (Dino). Those are two great offices to have to build a party... or re-build as it is...
True, but we lost control of the State Senate. I still can't figure out why we didn't make sure Jim Horn and Don Carlson wern't better funded. Letting the Realitors spend lotsa money on their behalf didn't cut it, they just matched the D 527's. There is no way they should have been outspend 2/1, and they were.
BTW, you are right about McKenna though. He's great. Although we did get lucky IMHO. Had the Dems been smart enough to nominate Sidran, I think they would have cruised. Senn is unelectable.
Things haven't been this good for the GOP in Washington since Ted Bundy was the state GOP coordinator for the Congressional candidates. Old Ted really knew where the bodies were buried! (No kidding, folks)
Can you get Cantwell next time ..
