Encouraging, but I'll wait until Tuesday to believe it.
Just as a semi-related note, I do think minor candidates will hurt McKenna in the primary more than they hurt Inslee. That alone could give Inslee a first place finish in the primary. The only difference between 1st and 2nd in a top two, of course, is the media buzz. Which Inslee could definitely use.
The presidential year election really hurts the GOP in this state, but they have blown some races with some really bad candidates and/or platforms that are just too conservative for King County and the surrounding burbs, which are becoming bluer every year.
They need a moderate/conservative in there to win. The Nethercutt's, Rossi days won't fly.
