I know this is Gravis, and I know a double digit lead for the Republican is highly unlikely; but this means Inslee could be in trouble.
Do you write for Politico?
LOL
Well no matter what this or PPP say McKenna is the best candidate the WA GOP would want to have if the race were to somehow shift.
Didn't need a poll to tell me that. McKenna is charismatic, moderate, and generally a good politician. If he had a D next to his name, he'd be elected in a landslide.
However, he's taken up a lobbying job recently and has 4 kids who are about to enter college. Since his loss in 2012, he's seemed to be less and less eager to run with each media check-in. And given Inslee's uneventful but smooth tenure, there's not a lot of reasons to think McKenna would do better than in 2012.
So he can stay a lobbyist and spend time with his family, or he can fully become Dino Rossi 2.0.
