Perhaps we are to believe that Reichert won the narrow victory over Burner because he foresook Terri. Perhaps this is why he squeaked by, not because he was the King Country Sheriff credited with bringing down the infamous Green River serial killer, (possibly the most brutal serial murder yet,) or because Burner was only lukewarm.
Reichert tried in his campaign to impress his swing-district voters with his political independence. As the UW's Jones observed, "He was able to distinguish himself from the Republicans on issues that mattered to that district" by voting for federal money for stem cell research, against Arctic oil drilling and against blocking the halting of life support for the terminally ill Terry Schiavo.
