The real MORONS are the small group of ACTIVE VOTERS in the state of Washington. Patty Murray (along with the Republican Party) narrowly defeated a wonderful candidate named Linda Smith. In 1996, these same fools narrowly elected Gary "Grid" Locke to the governorship over a fantastic candidate name Ellen Crawwell...and in 2000 these same whiny goobers re-elected Gridlock over another great candidate, John Carlson.

A quick examination of polling data indicates that covering the aforementioned elections, an average of 38% of the "eligible" voters participated in electing these Democrapic fart-blossoms to be leaders. It's not the water, its the apathetic majority versus the enthusiastic Teacher's Unions, State and Local Employee Unions and most of all the Boeing Machinist's Union who bother to show up and VOTE!

The real reason Murray was elected in the first place is because the Republican party in my state allowed themselves to be dominated by the Religious Right which then fielded candidates that were unelectable for a variety of reasons...tolerance not being one of them. The Democrats painted all Republicans with the same brush and the media celebrated "The Year of the Woman" to the extent that Murray's opponent [who was so moderate he was appointed by the Democrat governor to a political post after the election] went down in flames.

The "MORONS" you refer to reelected Murray because Smith ran a lousy race and allowed the D's to define her as a radical. And Ellen Craswell was one of the poorest candidates the R's in this state have run for governor in quite some time.

The D's on the west side of this state have a lock on senators and the governor until the Republican party gets it's act together and runs quality candidates.
