I hope Jennifer Dunn runs but I hear talk of her becoming a lobbiest instead...
I went to opensecrets.org and took a look at Patty Murray's fund-raising sources from the 1998 election. She has hefty "ideological" support, headed by Emily's List, the support group for pro-choice women Democrats. I'd be interested in knowing what other ideologies were included in that category.
A few of the individual donors were ex-military, and, even if they are personal friends, I wonder what their thoughts are right now.
I believe Washington State would vote for a Republican in 2004 if we can field a good one.
I have not yet heard if Jennifer Dunn is going to accept that job.Sure hope not.
