I'm not going to use the KRAZY KAPS and !!'s of goodnesswins, but Washington is still home to millions of hard working, unassuming Republicans. I won't give up hope that they can live in a state that won't allow lawyers to sue them to death.
But it is a damn shame the western WA liberals keep voting in these stooges, tighetning the noose on middle-class business, and ruining what was a great place to grow up.
The red state/blue state analogue is sort of flawed. It's really more like red attitude/blue attitude, since so many states have big popoulations of both (Washington and Oregon, which divides between Portland and the rest of the state, are prime examples.)
