An interesting though occurred to me today. Ordinarily I would look at a poll like this and discount it to 46-40 or so for Obama to account for the lying to the pollster about voting for the black guy effect. Then today I was wonder if such an effect might be more important in a very PC state like Washington? If so the race there might even be closer than I am estimating.

One thing we know for sure, the exit polls and polls in general in the primary overestimated Obama’s vote. So these polls heading into the general need to be adjusted to take that into consideration.

The Left Coast is a lock for the Dems. I will be very surprised if goes GOP in November.

The fact that a democrat is leading in the polls in Washington state is not exactly headline news.

My heart goes out to all of the people from the eastern border of the state to Wenatchee who must live with the policies handed down by the lefties on the coast.

What a load

Actually I think this is pretty accurate. Do you seriously believe that McCain will win Washington???? I am not sure what you find untruthful in this article.

How about incompetence of our educational system which will not teach how this republic was founded and why.
