I’d like nothing better than to see Osama Bin Murray defeated, but I believe that Jennifer Dunn is the only Republican who could do it. I was very disappointed when she passed on the opportunity.
There was a headline – I believe in the TNT - that the Rossi/Gregoire race was a tie. But then the body of the article listed the margin at something like 47-41, Gregoire. I’d love to see Dino win, but Gregoire has several great advantages:
- Democrat
- Woman
- Seattle
- Fawning press
Yah, but she has several disadvantages too:
-Can't run her office without losing millions
-People pissed at Olympia status-quo more then ever
-Unlike Maria Cantwell, 0 'babe' factor, she's very unattractive and not very likable in person.
-Rossi. He's a GREAT campaigner. In any swing true state or conservative leaning state, he'd be a shoe-in.
Gregoir is a slight favorite, but only slight. And while I don't expect Nethercutt to win, I wouldn't be surprised either. While he isn't nearly as attractive of a candidate as Dunn, he's a good campaigner, and he's closing fast, and hey, he beat Tom Foley afterall! I wouldn't count him out till the fight is finished.
I too detest Ross. Arrogant prick who hasn't ever done anything but talk in his whole life. Opposite of Reichert. Confedent but not arrogant, and has actually accomplished a LOT in his life.
Oh, and I forgot, NOT well liked by the Liberal establishment. They REALLY liked Sims, and a lot of people arn't happy that she beat him so badly in the primary.
Oh, and one last thing, the poll you talked about had a margin of error of + or - 5%, so that is within the margin of error. At least one other poll had them virtually tied at 45%-43%.
