Washington 2020: The Calm Before the Drizzle

[Ogre Mage]

I would be surprised if Dunn won the AG race and honestly, my opinion of Owen is low so I cannot work up any concern over his losing.

The governor, WA-01, and SoS races are cause for concern, however.  I greatly fear we are going to wind up with McKenna and the chatter I continue to hear and read about Inslee's campaign is negative.

[Napoleon]

Inslee needs to move fast or he wont have an opportunity to catch up.

The local media is in love with Rob McKenna, so that won't be easy.

[Meeker]

Washington Conservation Voters just endorsed Bill Finkbeiner.

[Alcon]

I have never seen so few people in local orgs care about a statewide elected Democrat than with Brad Owen.

We're in the running for another PPP poll.  Someone has apparently cheated for us...but vote anyway, so it looks legitimate, I guess?

As always, they'll accept question suggestions.

So, this charter school thing is shaping up to be pretty interesting.

Charter schools are a monumental waste of money. I really hope it fails.

Brian Sonntag has endorsed Rob McKenna. So has Tim Sheldon.

Is he that upset about not getting to be the nominee?

[Meeker]

He endorsed McKenna in 2008 too. I think he's just a dick.

[Seattle]

Debate right now in Spokane. I'm watching it right now.

I think McKenna will win... He's just got everything going for him.

[bgwah]

I just watched the debate. Inslee did better than I thought he would.

McKenna's math makes no sense. Not that Inslee was terribly specific or anything.

Inslee is still keeping up with this ambiguity act. Not helpful when your at risk of fading into the backround.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I...just...

2/10, would not support again.

I feel like we've lost that loving feeling.  this thread just isn't as active as it used to be.

I fenagled our way to being polled by PPP this weekend, by the way.  It's a long story involving disabled cookies, multiple public wi-fi spots, and a friend who knows a guy who blogs for The Stranger.

In any case, expect new numbers early next week on Prez, U.S. Senate, Governor, gay marriage, pot, and maybe the other initiatives.

[Meeker]

Is Burner aware she has to win a general election after she wins the primary? Because she's doing a very good job with the latter. Not so much the former.

True, but that'll likely change as we get through the summer. Anway, I'm glad you did do that, I'm really interested in the pot and of course, the gay marriage numbers.

[Alcon]

PPP:

"Tomorrow we'll have Colorado President and Washington Governor/Gay Marriage/Marijuana legalization numbers"

"Going to have good news for pro-gay marriage side in WA tomorrow. Pretty decent chance equality advocates go 4 for 4 this fall"


"In Washington state 22% of Republicans support legalizing marijuana, only 10% support legalizing gay marriage"

[Alcon]

So, this isn't getting much press, but Sam Reed has apparently eliminated the state Voters' Guide and the only counties picking up the slack are King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish.   This is unfortunate.

[Meeker]

I think he just cut it for the primary. And I'm pretty sure there wasn't one in 2010 either.
