I'd like to see the Dems nominate Sen. Patty Murray, (Washington), you know, "mother in sneakers?" for Prez.
That way, the GOP candidate would likely win a 49 state sweep in '08.
Comon, she'd win at least 10 states.
OK, maybe I was a bit hard on Patty. But I hardly think she would win 10 states. I'd say 4 max. As pointed out by Notre Dame Rules, Washington state Dems know how to create votes, that's for sure. I'll go out on a limb and call Washington, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as DC of course, for Murray.
She won with a comfortable margin, the cheating question surrounds Gregoire and to a much lesser extent Cantwell.
Oregon always votes the same way as Washington, so I think she'd at least win that too. She'd probably win New York, Maryland, Hawaii and probaby California, Delaware, Illinois, and maybe Minnesota just because it always manages to vote Democrat.
Anyway, this thread is about Cantwell.
I think she would do much better than Murray. I say she'll win by at least 10% in 2006, maybe 5% if Dino decides to run against her.
