IMO, they only wanted to concentrate on King county where they had a modicum of control, and a higher probability of gleaning what they needed.

The election process in WA looks like a mess; it's really not that bad, if everyone plays by the rules.

I know many democrats who are disgusted by this as well, but they are conservative dems of the old school. I can only hope they wake up in 2006 and 2008. If they do, maybe this will have been worth it. *shrug*

The Montana SSC decision to seat Windham instead of Jore doesn't look too good, IMO, but its not getting the attention the Governors race is here.

Maybe because this appears so blatant.....

The most insane part of the Montana race is that by a judicial fiat, 6 judges decided to toss out a few votes just to end it in favor of the Democrat. Since the Montana House is split 50-50, this gives the Democrats control of the House, Senate and Governorship, because by Montana law, if the House or Senate are split down the middle, the majorityship goes toward the party of the Governor, in this case, the Democrats.

This puts the Democrats in a position to pander to the Republicans on the other side of the aisle to get what they want accomplished.
