I will be very surprised if Rossi has the sense to sit this one out. He is the Harold Stassen of Evergreen State politics.
This leaves the door open for the carpet bagger, Jay Inslee. He was first elected to congress claiming he and his family roots were from the Yakima Valley. After he was thrown out in 94 as a one termer who voted for Clinton’s assualt weapons ban, he moved back to the real family homestaed on Bainbridge Island, where he has been elected to the congress again.
I argued with him over the Assault Weapons ban one day after I seen him standing on the street waving his re-election sign. He was standing there all by himself on a busty street corner and no one was honking or waving to him. He should have had a clue then that he would be losing.
