McDermott won his last general election with 80 percent of the vote, but he had already attracted one primary challenger in his safe Democratic 7th District before the holiday recess. State Rep. Brady Walkinshaw announced his candidacy in early December, promising to be the âregionâs next progressive leader.â

McDermott is a psychiatrist whose voting record indicates the need for a psychiatrist.
The bastard should be in jail after his Gingrich eavesdropping fiasco pulled off by his two Florida fairies.
McD is a batsh** crazy commie and several more are waiting in line to replace him.
Thank god this embarrassment of a human being is quitting the Congress! Not that his replacement is likely to be much better.
Don’t let the door hit you on yer way out. Good riddance.
Not to worry. WA has plenty of tards ready and willing to replace him and an electorate that never passes on the chance to elect the looniest of the bunch.
Is he going off to head a pro ISIS think tank?
Damn!
I thought Minnnnesota was bad-
Ellison
Franken

BUMP! BUMP!
no fun not being a chairman of a committee in party in power.
That's not an over statement of fact. I present, for your consideration, Seattle City Council Member and avowed socialist, Kshama Sawant.
She's nucking futs!
A piker in the democrat world.
A real lib will pull a 105% next time.
Like Sawant.
I expect her to win, and win big.
Seattlites love them some liberalism.
Full-bore communism will practically give them an orgasm.
Seattle’s 7th district must be targeted for annihilation.
Many shrinks see shrinks. McDermott should be in prison for his role in the Gingrich telephone bugging scandal.
progressive.
Another word that shows that the left distorts and confuses language.
Kshama Sawant would be worse.
Best for moonbat districts to put up their very worst. Instant lightning rods to rally the opposition. Problem is, this dingbat wouldn’t likely switch to the Democrats to run.
