Inslee got 76.73% in Seattle and 48.25% in Bellevue.
McKenna got 19.02% in Seattle and 47.17% in Bellevue.

Cantwell got 82.71% in Seattle and 58.98% in Bellevue.
Baumgartner got 11.58% in Seattle and 32.06% in Bellevue.

Thanks!

[Fuzzybigfoot]

And Baumgartner likely will only get owned even harder in the general given his recent actions.

I like that he challenged Cantwell, a sitting senator, to 38 debates.

Ha ha here's a link:

Yeah, and Koster is tied with women?  LOL

lol that picture

I think McKenna is going to win.  Most of the pundits in Washington State think he has a better chance, and he will probably make some inroads with moderates (Inslee will still win them, but McKenna will do better than most Republicans.)  Granted, I don't live in Washington State, but I still think that McKenna will win.  The most recent poll I saw had Inslee leading by three points, but it was within the margin of error and was a poll of registered rather than likely voters.  Once those two things are factored in, it seems at least somewhat likely to me that McKenna is leading.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

You guys just won't admit that the pundits all agree that McKenna has a better chance.  And "Democrat moderates"?  The overwhelming majority of moderates who identify with a party are Democrats.  McKenna has been running a campaign based on economic issues, as I understand, and that means he can still make significant inroads.

Actually, Obama won the 6th and the 10th by 16% or 17%. 

[Fuzzybigfoot]

I don't know what this is, or half of what is going on, but this must be the result of some really inspiring drugs.

Yikes, the "The real Rob McKenna" ads are awful.

I really don't get why McDermott needs half a million.  lol

The folks in the safe seats raise money to send to the DCCC/NRCC who then send it to competitive districts.

Why not send them directly to the candidates themselves?

They do that too, but they're allowed to give much more money to the DCCC/NRCC than they can to individual candidate committees, so the bulk tends to go there.

Oh, ok.  Thanks!

[Fuzzybigfoot]

^ They're usually pretty good.

Also, if this thread is locked, I will cry. This thread is the only thing worth coming to on this forum anymore.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

I always knew the Seattle times was a really douchy paper, but damn. 

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Realistic, I didn't know you still lived in the second!

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Elway had McKenna leading by 2, and if he wins and it goes to a recount, the Dems will steal it again like they did with Gregoire vs. Rossi in 2004.

How many times to I have to say this?  Even our Secretary of State, who is a Republican, said that the results were completely legitimate.  Idiot. 

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Does anyone know what % Obama has in Seattle right now?

[Fuzzybigfoot]

I wonder if McKenna could have won if he had come out in favor of I-502 and promised to do everything possible as governor to support it if it passed.
 

Welcome to the forum!

I've tabulated the current results of WA-3, and so far Romney is winning it by a little less than 4,000 votes.  He's also winning WA-3's slice of Thurston county by a mere 3 votes. 

[Fuzzybigfoot]

So, when will the precinct results come out for King County?  When the election is finalized?

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Skagit just flipped to Approve on R-74.  I expect Whitman will be joining them tomorrow.

So, when will the precinct results come out for King County?  When the election is finalized?

December 4th, says their web site.

I didn't see that.

Here's Tim Eyeman's intitiative in my hometown of Bellingham:




Only 51.89% of our electorate voted against in, compared to 53% or so last time.
