I just hope he's in it to win it.

He should be since he won his first governors then after 2 more counts he lost for his second race for governor he lost by 6% while obama was winning by almost 20% and in 2010 he almost beat patty Murray only losing by 3% or 5% he won the old Washington 8 everytime and since the new Washington 8 is more republican he should be able to eek out a small victory of 3-5%.

Rossi? Really? The perenial loser? Republicans would be smart to nominate someone fresh.

Rossi really you do realize he WON the governors race in 2004 right?
He won the first count and the second count but on third she narrowly won he tried to get 1 last count and the courts said no he is the rightful governor of Washington.

Yeah and Strickland actually won the governor's race in 2006. Sure helped him lots in 2016.

Ted Strickland was going against rob Portman who ran a incredible campaign plus ted Strickland lost reelection.
Dino is more like Charlie Crist he runs good campaigns but in the end of day you have to run in friendly territory like crist did last time.

[Keep cool-idge]

Crist....was also a perenial loser until he caught one lucky break. Not the best comparison.

So we're even then crist won once for gov same as Dino then lost the senate race then a governors race while crist made a comeback in 2016 Dino will make his comeback in 2018.

[Keep cool-idge]

Ted Strickland
Charlie Crist
Tommy Thompson
Bob Kerrey
Russ Feingold
Evan Bayh

Former office holders who've recently failed at comebacks. And Rossi never even won an election. A fresh face would be better for Republicans.

Charlie crist just won a congressional seat same as what Dino Rossi is going to have come January 2019

And Al Gore won the 2000 Presidential election.  Not so fun when it happens to your side, is it?

Al gore is fake news I read that the media did recounts and it actually helped bush besides stop lying to yourself the reason gore lost was because the state of New Hampshire voted republican if he won New Hampshire he would have won.

Dude if you win the first and second counts then a third count turns *up* ballots that some how didn't get counted I'm going to call fraud now if there was one final recount and she won then I would say it was close but she won.
Besides you know who Riggs Elections democrats look at Texas in 1960 over voting in like 6 county's look at Illinois in 1960 dead people voted in New Jersey there were unconfirmed reports of fraud in 1960 look at the 2008 Minnesota senate race they found odd ballots and kept recounting till al Franken won even Hillary thought that the 1960 election was rigged.

Endorsed, if true!

Same.

[Keep cool-idge]

While I'm not willing to say Rossi definitely won '04, I will grant that the King County mechanics were very suspicious and it is likely that the final count was incorrect. I would say the same thing about Florida 2000 and AL Gov '02.

Exactly when there are 2 counts that show Rossi winning then 1 showing what's her name winning that's odd.

[Keep cool-idge]

Anyways, according to DRA, Rossi won this district 55-45 during his 2010 Senate run, so if he runs I imagine he wins.

That was in a 4% loss for him statewide. Hardly typical for a Congressional race in Washington. Hard to imagine the 2018 results being that favorable for Republicans. Rossi would have a chance, but no one should be saying that he will definitely win.

Oh, and as far as the Washington gubernatorial race goes, some wise American men were fond of telling me last year "you lost, get over it." I think that may apply here.

You're side lost by 70,000 votes Dino lost by 100ish votes after 3 counts.

[Keep cool-idge]

Right now I would rate this Lean R, personally.

Toss up but tilt republican if Rossi jumps in but the dems seem to have a poor bench so it could very well be likely once we know more.

Still being angry over an election that was 13 years ago is more than a little ridiculous and that's not even the topic of the thread. Move on.

Your party is angry about an election 16 years ago so.....

I was going to bring that up.

That's pretty much water under the bridge for most people. Besides, "but such and such" is not really a good rebuttal. No one cheated Rossi, he just lost and Gregoire was the better fit for the state.

If you win twice you win you shouldn't have to do 3 counts for the dem to win

What if Gregoire had won the the first two counts but then Rossi won the last one?

Well in that case like I said before do one last recount.

Let it go.

The fact is you guys continue to say that 2000 was rigged yet you guys lost because of a candidate who gave up on Ohio and did nothing in New Hampshire just like your candidate in 2016 didn't even go to Wisconsin Dino won twice and since dems *found* ballots she *won* but like I said there should have been only 1 recount but after the result changed do one more count to make sure that it wasn't a fluke.

Most of the complaints about the 2000 election stem from Gore winning the popular vote and Bush barely squeaking by in Florida.    Why does Ohio and New Hampshire have to come into play?

Because gore should have done way better in Ohio and New Hampshire barely went republican yeah Florida was razor thin but Florida is more red then New Hampshire.

This thread has gotten very stupid.

Anyway, people have mentioned that this district is more Republican downballot, but Reichert is Reichert and gubernatorial elections are gubernatorial elections. Anyone know how Murray and Cantwell have fared here?

Murray won it by 52-48 in 2016
Murray lost it 45-55 in 2010
Cantwell won it but her races aren't even real races.

[Keep cool-idge]

Murray lost it 45-55 in 2010

What's the source?

If that's true, then there's some truth to the notion that it's a more Republican district on the downballot level. I'll still call it Tilt D though, since it's a Trump midterm and the trend is toward the Democrats.

Well bill Bryant who ran this time for governor won the 8th by 5 points if I remember correctly while rob McKenna who ran last time lost by 3 won the 8th by 13 points.

I would call it a toss up tilting republican hold the dems have no bench in the 8th at all while the GOP has the tons of candidates to choose from.

We already have a thread for WA-08 (which you posted in), and one for congressional recruitment (where this topic should have gone). Why did you create a new thread?

Sorry didn't know :/
