He's such a nonentity, half the time I have a hard time even remembering his name.
The only question is whether the next governor will be an even worse 'Rat.

I'm surprised it took him so long...that reply was just plain ridicuous.. Maybe he just doesn't want to look like a fool anymore. Nothing lost, any good Republicans over there to take over next election?

"The only question is whether the next governor will be an even worse 'Rat."Unless Chris Vance can arrange a miracle which I doubt, can you say Governor Phil Talmage? If this guy gets elected our state will not recover until 2012.

No good reason to start another thread, I actually live in Washington. And I scooped AP by a few minutes.

Yes. I sent a message to the admin to delete this thread. Then posted the story onto your thread. I guess they'll delete it sooner or later. Let's just let this one die and post to the other one. It's already longer.
