We don't really want Murray ousted because Locke would just appoint another Democrat, maybe one with more brains than Murray. Murray is more useful as a political hot potato.

I take your point, Eva, and have been worried about this.

One thing: we probably don't have to worry. I'm thinking now that she'd never resign anyway. Only conservatives do honorable things these days.

[Publius]

You are correct. If Murray resigned, Gov. Locke would appoint either Christine Gregoire or Deborah Senn. Nothing would change except for the IQ.
