Washington state: White House Wants No Messy Primary

[bgwah]

Rick White-eh...He did lose re-election. But Cantwell shouldn't pull a Gregoire and take her re-election for granted!
Chris Vance-oooh, I can see Cantwell breaking 60% now...
Mike McGavick-Umm...Don't even know anything about the guy!

VANCE! VANCE! VANCE!

I like Cantwell, and she is rather pro-free trade, too. She's very good for Washington state and very much fits into its politics.

She's also not a Gregoire-like pushover. If Rossi runs against her, she'll out him for the total non-moderate that he is.

Nothing says "Democrats carry eastern Washington counties" like Chris Vance.

There is one single thing that says everything that needs to be said about Vance's electability: this year, Adam Smith won 63-35 against a guy who posted, four months after the election, a rambling rant that starts with the sentence "Why must Adam steal Pedro's money?" and only goes downhill from there.

LOL! He doesn't come close to Carol Cassady! She makes McDermott look like a moderate, understanding, reasonable man. bahahahahha.

On her campaign site, she said city votes shouldn't be worth as much as rural votes, and she ran for congress in ing Seattle, and went on a Cantwell-Gregoire "the democrats are evil" rant. However, her site is gone now. Web archive have pre-election stuff, but you miss her rant.

If Washington had that sytem in 1996, we would've had two Democrats running against eachother! (for governor)

Hopefully Democrats will get out and vote on primary day to make sure she is on the top two. It seems possibile they will figure "Cantwell wins so theres no point in voting in the primary" and end up having a Republican win! *gasp*

Alcon do you have the results for WA-9 for president?

Approximately 53-46.

I forgot to finish my story about the "Why must Adam take Pedro's money?" guy.

He did only one point worse than Chris Vance.

Hah! That's the same as the state. How convenient.

So, if a district similar to the entire state only gave him 35%, then he can expect a similar number for congress. Although I WOULD add probably about 5% just because.

I say in a Cantwell-Vance match up, it would go about 60-40.
