Honestly, I have no idea. I just hope we don't have to deal with Rossi again. I was amazed at how dirty he was willing to get in his last campaign. Not to mention most people are aware of the various housing scandals he's been tied to.
 
Since I have been in Afghanistan since June I really didn't get to see most of the campaign, but I have seen the Dems don't play clean either. Specially after that 04 stunt. Anyways good to see a fellow Washingtonian on here.
 
Oh, of course not. I just meant the issue of him claiming that Patty Murray was trying to send jobs overseas, when she actually attempted to reduce overseas tax credits, whereas Rossi approved of them.

It seems pretty obvious at this point that Rossi isn't going to win these elections, so it would be nice to see someone else run for a change.

And, Washingtonians represent! :mrgreen:
 
Technically he won in 04 but that another story. I hope McKenna to run.
 
Honestly I am completely unsure about who I will vote for, as I don't know enough about the candidates. Maybe because I've only been of voting age for 2 and a half years, but that's how it is. Well, I don't like Gregiore, as she has not delivered. Education and our roads have suffered, she hasn't shown any leadership on fixing the Alaskan Way Viaduct, for example. Also, what's with this budget deficit? Weren't we running a surplus before she took office? So far I haven't seen anything that is a deal breaker for McKenna, but Inslee is my current representative who I have voted for in the past against the republican challengers. But I mostly voted for him because the other major candidates have been tea-party nuts. As for Cantwell, well I am completely undecided.
 
Tea Party Nuts. You want to discuss different points of views or do you just want to call names? Typically that's the tactic liberals use so as not to debate.

NO actually he lost in 2004. And he lost even worse in 2008.

At 20% of the Tea Party people are racist nuts who can't stand the thought of a black President. The other 80% are just gullible fools.
 
Ultimately, none of this matters. This is a Democratic state - aside from east of the Cascades, which is really Western Idaho. Barack Obama will win this state by 15% and Maria Cantwell won't even break a sweat in winning.
