What's Cantwell's deal or is it that this McGavick figure is actually making himself well known and likeable? Sure she's up by ten but she's still below 50% and with the way things are going for the GOP she should be up by more. I don't think there's any reall chance of this being a pickup but it could end up being close. I wouldn't say she's "cruising" just yet.
If only Slade Gorton would come back and make a SECOND comeback to the Senate.
Mitty is right. Gorton is a non-entity. He lost to Cantwell in what can only be described as an embarassing race. He is not really popular, either; he existed mainly on the strength of his incumbency. If Gorton was charismatic, or at least not oily, and Cantwell's popularity was in danger, I could see some chance of a comeback. Unfortunately for the WAGOP, it's more of the same old same old from a party which lately has been struggling to offer anything else.
