Title: Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: struct310 on August 01, 2004, 03:10:26 AM I love starting this one. I really think Washington will surprise everyone this year. The GOP GOTV is amazing this time around and the governors race is starting to heat up. After 20 years of democratic dominance, the people are itching for change.
Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: TheWildCard on August 01, 2004, 03:14:38 AM I'd say its not probable yet it isn't impossible either for Washington to go GOP. I've always wondered why the home state of Microsoft and Starbucks has seemed to be a fairly solid liberal state for such a long time.

Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: Lunar on August 01, 2004, 11:55:13 AM I disagree, I think Washington will be like Colorado for the Democrats in 04. An amazing GOTV effort and the governer's race MIGHT be worth 5% together, but it would have to be absolutely-bloody-amazing.

I've always wondered why the home state of Microsoft and Starbucks has seemed to be a fairly solid liberal state for such a long time. And home to Boeing not too long ago. Bill Gates is a Democrat, I believe.

I've always wondered why the home state of Microsoft and Starbucks has seemed to be a fairly solid liberal state for such a long time. And home to Boeing not too long ago. Bill Gates is a Democrat, I believe. He gave money to Bush's campiagn... So I'm not too sure about that. Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on August 01, 2004, 01:39:44 PM and what makes you think that? all the polls show Kerry with a clear lead. That wasn't true with WV, polls showed the state slipping from Gore from quite awhile until the election.

The east part is like ID. Bush can win in WA only if the elections are not close. Someone was wandering how comes that Microsoft country is not a Rep one. That exactly the case all over country: Secular and highly educated people tend more to vote Dem.

So basically those who have been brain washed by their colleges!

So basically those who have been brain washed by their colleges! Either that... or maybe different priorities on values.

Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on August 01, 2004, 02:56:00 PM this is what conservatives mean when they say "values"
-mysoginy -hating gays -being annoying and moralizing about stuff on TV and movies it's a load of crap. Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: bgwah on August 01, 2004, 04:05:27 PM Governor, maybe Republican.
President, definately Democrat. Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: Lunar on August 01, 2004, 04:19:18 PM Yes Wildcard, I knew (and thanks for fixing my post a bit).
And BRTD, I think the different priorities involve things like family values versus personal freedom.

Amen to that! Don't forget using the Catholic Church as a pawn. The same people thatv are preaching social justice are giving Rick Santoilet honorary doctorates in that area. How ironic. Title: Re:Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: Ben. on August 01, 2004, 06:54:54 PM I'd take any wager that Kerry will carry WA by a solid if not huge margin... however with a smaller Nader vote this time around Kerry will proably win it by 4-7%! overall.
Title: Re: Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on January 27, 2005, 01:21:16 PM another prediction to bump.
Title: Re: Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: Alcon on January 27, 2005, 09:40:52 PM another prediction to bump. Not a horrible one, really. Gregoire was polling up by a decent margin. This was a somewhat brave prediction, although it was probably not based on any facts so much as intuition. Title: Re: Washington is the West Virginia in 2004 Post by: Rob on February 01, 2005, 12:27:57 AM Ben's prediction was dead on.
