Um Rob McKenna did in a landslide.

And? You might as well say the Secretary of State's office is proof WA is secretly solidly Republican. Non-executive state offices frequently avoid overall political trends for obvious reasons. Rossi only did as well as he did because the dot-com bubble crashed- he would be constantly clashing with a Democratic legislature and face both the extreme unpopularity of Bush in WA and the 2007-2008 economic crash.

If that’s the case why did he outrun McCain by over 6 points?

Your missing the point. He still lost even though Gregoire wasn't exactly popular.
