The other nice thing about Linda Smith...

A Linda Smith candidacy insures a Gregoire win for governor. She'd be a senator were it not for pi**ing off nearly every R on the west side.

I greatly fear the R's in my beloved state are going to screw this up again and we'll get another screaming lefty female governor. Where's Dixie Lee Ray when we really need her?

Are you talking about her opposition to NAFTA? Or something else? I'm just throwing ideas out there; I'm not saying she is the be all, end all.

I do think she could appeal to some more conservative Democrats, though. And she wouldn't be negotiating trade deals, so I figure, what the heck.

Funny you mentioned Dixie Lee Ray. A couple of days ago I was thinking how much better off we would be just having a (D) as conservative as she was.

Dead.
