KING 5 Poll: County Executive race neck-and-neck

I'm afraid to get my hopes up in the Peoples' Republic of King County - -but it seems to me this is somewhat HUGH at this point in time. We REALLY need to get Irons on as County Exec. Sims appointed Logan (the current Director of Elections) and stood by him in the debacle of the 2004 elections. Sims is also the one that passed the law that 65% of our property basically cannot be touched without approval (his wife and daughter thought we needed to be more environmental)and loves to spend our $$s. Irons if a fiscally conservative Pubbie and we need him. Sims is black and I hope the buses don't run on election day. Fingers crossed, prayers continue to be said.

Good luck King County.

I wish you the best, but every wino in Pioneer Square has a pre-printed ballot in his name sitting in the basement of the King County courthouse already. If those guys got away with Gregoire - and they did - Sims will be a snap.

Unfortunately, you're probably correct. They probably all have their address as the Admin Bldg as many did in the last selection. That said, I think (hope) that there are going to be a lot more eyes on the monitoring and counting of the ballots in this election. I just hope we don't have to go through 3 recounts for Sims to get selected.

Wow. Thanks for the ping.

I am a little afraid to comment on this for fear of jinxing it. Please, oh, please.

[llevrok]

as long as Sims controls elections, this will turn into a Sims win no matter how large Irons' lead.

Sad, but true.

[B Knotts]

Exactly.

Who do you think put the fix in for Gregoire?

[Boazo]

Sims an't sweating it! He's a mean one,Mr.Sims

[poindexter]

Time for Dean Logan (King County Elections Director) to whip up a batch of his special sauce.

Like you, I don't live or vote in King County (just thought I would add that).

I would like to believe that the majority of the voters have had their fill of Sims and the corrupt elections. If the voters toss Sims out, it may restore some of my faith in the voters.

I will wait to see what happens and vote in my County and try to change things where I live.

Thanks for the heads up.

Unfortunately it's true...there are no valid checks and balances...how many separate sets of ballots did they find in King county alone?...something like 8 separate sets of ballots. And it happened every time Gregoire started to lose...gee, isn't that interesting...and what an amazing coincidence...8 times over.

He cut the wages of Baby Sitters!?!?

His Own Sister voted against him!?!?

Quick, Ethel, gimme my double barrel, a box of buckshot, and a swig off'n that jug, we got us a LYNCHIN' to 'tend to!!

lololol

[TheEaglehasLanded]

Wait this is King County, the Cook County, IL of the Northwest. Irons better win by a fairly large margin because under the recount rule their it's three strikes and your out for Dems and 1 strike and your out for Pubs.

[dangus]

>> Irons may be ahead, but strangely enough, many voters know very little about David Irons. <<

Translation: We can still tar him, and hey, we run the elections, donchaknow?

[schu]

Any news on the survey sample, registered voters, likely voters, etc?

Sorry, I just do not trust the Seattle media to shoot straight.

If Sims goes down, and he just might, then some of my faith will be restored. There are some principled liberals in KingCo that recognized the Gov race was rigged, they want Sims and Logan out. Now hopefully there are enough of these type libs .... ;-)

Irons BUMP He will definitely be better than Sims!
