Obama carries NM.
Same thing in Washington. King County will "magically" come up with enough votes to outweigh the rest of the McCain votes statewide so that Obama wins; same thing that happened in 2000 with Slade Gorton when Maria Cantwell stole the Senate seat from him.
Unfortunately, I think you’re right about WA state and King County. That said, a lot of people (even some Dims) were really ticked w the election in 2004 and Fraduoire getting selected as Gov after 3 counts, and, none of us has forgotten. There are also ads running about her and the Indian tribes donations. Last poll I saw within the last week or so had Rossi +6 and IIRC McPalin -2. There are a lot of conservatives in WA state, but, the large population centers/counties along the I-5 corridor (Pierce (Tacoma), King (Seattle), and Snohomish (Everett)) usually go Dim.
I heard on the radio yesterday that in some poll Seattle came out ahead in several categories. Don’t remember all of them, but I had to shake my head and say, “Oh, please”, when Seattle was #1 for intelligent people. They sure must have been speaking to the folks in the burbs who are more conservative (like moi ;-) because the people in Seattle have voted that Socialist Dimwit McDermott in year after year - not too smart in my book, and, I won’t even go into discussing the dumbest Senator, Patty Osama Mama Murray, and another dimwit Senator Maria Can’tdowell - YIKES!
