He's running a good campaign.... I hate it.
I completely agree. Honestly if Inslee doesn't get his campaign into high gear then I could see McKenna run away with the election (by which I mean about a 3-4 point victory).
I have to admit, the way McKenna is running his campaign makes me at least confidant that he could run the state well enough (even if I oppose him on most policy issues).
Its kind of unbelievable the Republicans have a reasonable shot to pick up the Washington State Governorship right now. I mean no Republican has been Governor of Washington State in 30 years. Considering how right-wing the national party is right now too..
If the Republicans can put up somebody like McKenna in a consistent basis on a state to state basis they could go somehwere instead of recruiting the most right-wing candiate possible(i.e. idealogue.)
I thought Inslee is a perfect fit for the Washington State Governorship as well. Inslee could be the Scott McGinnis(R-CO) of this election cycle. Perfect fit for the governor's job on paper but doesn't win.
