It is going to be a pretty intense election, we've known that since the start.

As always, the Democrats will come home and they will keep the mansion.

We'll see. If there is any Republican that could even come close to winning Bellevue and the eastside of the Seattle Metro.... its McKenna.

I was considering voting for him for a while, but, since the whole health care deal, that won't be happening.

Yeah, I know alot of democrats who would have voted for him. If he hadn't turned to the right since announcing his canidacy,  this election would'nt even be moderately close.

In a poll of 572 registered voters statewide, 49% told SurveyUSA they would vote for Attorney General McKenna, vs. 39% for Congressman Inslee.  The poll reached voters on landlines and cell phones and has a margin of +/-4.2%.




Dominating! He might actually pull this off.

Well, it is 8.5 months away... I wouldn't get ahead of yourself ;) This race will be one of the most contested in the country.

Well, yes, I would not bet on it. But Inslee has kindly vacated the 1st district, and of course if a nutter like Darcy Burner wins the primary we will be in solid shape to make a comeback in Washington state.

Yes, a nutter highly successful business person IIRC. Can't have liberals like that in congress...

I don't know if I would call her a nutter, but Darcy Burner is a terrible candidate who couldn't win a 57% Obama district in 2006 or 2008. Of course the likely Republican candidate has also run multiple times and lost, most recently in 2010. So who knows!

Well, no argument there. Though her opponent was good....

He's seen as acceptably moderate, but I'm not sure how popular Reichert has ever really been.  As far as I know, he's the only incumbent Republican congressman who actually lost vote share between 2008 and 2010, and it's not like he had a scandal or anything.  He's just really blah.

Does Koster even know what district he's running in?  Last time I checked his website he had a picture of Deception Pass as it's background.  lol

Keep in mind that the GOP is at a natural disadvantage since they elect their governors in presidential election years.  Obama will likely end up around 55%.  So, there will have to be massive split-ticket voting and although Gov races tend to be a bit more bi-partisan that has not been the case in WA for years now.  It didn't even get the GOP over the top (who knows) in 2004.

What's amazing to be in these "minority states" is that Republican candidates just don't figure out that moving to the right helps them to LOSE traction and not gain it.  Gorton found that out twice and he was one of the weakest GOP winners in '94.
