Whatever. I said repeatedly it didn’t matter who they put up this state would be decided by King County. I fail to understand the ringing indictments, consternation or upset. That’s just how things are here.
Now for those of you who say we deserve it, well I’d advise you to consider unlike California we still can have a close state wide race. Up until this election PA wasn’t all that different from us. Slightly less resistent to the “R” label though and that is what makes the difference.
This state is slashed in half. Half liberal. Half conservative. We made some gains in the state Senate and legislatures. Picked up a few House seats. We defeated a huge tax increase. SO excuse us if we didn’t elect a US Senator but we weren’t quite the lost cause projected here.
I do agree it’s ridiculous to keep competing state wide when resources could go to a place like Nevada. I don’t agree we’re so lost everything should be abandoned. It’s just that if you really want to win here there is going to have to be a committment to register sympathetic conservatives that have never voted or find those registered who never show up. We’re close enough that if they committed to an intense voter drive under the radar of the democratic party we might be able to pull off an upset once in awhile that even fraud couldn’t take. Unless or until that happens they should reserve their efforts for intiatives house seats and local races.
Yeah - Pierce County here - I was very happy to see the state income tax intitative fail and I’m sorry but not surprised the more retarded of the two retarded WA senators “won”, but Rossi was the wrong opponent. It would have been better to put another chick up against Patty, one with fire in the belly and any semblence of the brain Patty Murray sorely lacks.
