But so did those who stayed home or otherwise wasted their influence.

Perhaps if the "R"s in WA want the votes of libertarians in the next election, they should field a candidate who pays more than lip service (or no service at all!) to his supposed commitment to smaller, less intrusive government.

Meanwhile, I will promote IRV to everyone I run across as a fair and reasonable alternative to current election procedures. I guess it must not seem as attractive to major party people as it does to me, since, if implemented, it might shatter the myth that 3rd party candidates are "unelectable".

In any case, I see no value in beating people over the head with a past election whose results were dissatisfactory, if one is interested in those same people supporting one's candidates in a future election. Seems almost counterproductive.

Thank You Madam. It is because of people like you that we have a Democratic Senate. By the way, did you ever see the Red/Blue map of that election?

If you are on this thread one would conclude the these type issues are of importance to you. Are you aware that Sen. Gorton used his Chair of thr Interior Dept Appropriations sub-committee to stop CARA in 2000?
