WA-8: Reichert retiring

[Bidenworth2020]

Don't forget Anthony Brown in Maryland and Karen Handel in Georgia!

As well as Hanabusa, Faso, Comer, Pearce and McClintock.

There really are a lot.

most of these people run cuz when they ran statewide they did unusually well in the state overall (Rossi), or in a certain cd that they then represent(Christ won Pinellas by 11 in 2014)

So now that we’re in December dino is still the only republican running while it’s a clown car race on the democrats side I still leave the race at lean republican.

If it wasn't Dino I would call this a Lean D just from the energized base of Democrats. But if there's anyone that knows how to win there it's Rossi.

edit-If there is anyone who knows how to come ultra close to winning, it is Rossi.

Well this is if the house is at pure toss up and it’s like 5 seats that decide who controls the house WA-8 will be one of the 5 along with NE-2-MN-2 CO-6-WA-8 and AZ-2 those will decide the house.

Did you just pick a handful of random marginal House seats? Coffman's district doesn't strike me as the type to hold out until the end. It's D+2 and Clinton won it very comfortably.

I picked Coffman because people are saying he is going to lose but I don’t think so considering he was first elected in 2008 and has won hard fought races before.

Plenty of examples of that to go around.

Not to mention Nick Rahall, John Barrow, Ben Chandler, and Tim Bishop, who all survived the 2010 bloodbath but then went down in 2012 or 2014.

that is just because they got put into tougher districts

Okay do you guys think a suburban-Conservative on the east swing district is ACTUALLY going to vote for https://mobile.twitter.com/DrKimSchrier she is a crazy progressive hack. When jay inslee was Winning statewide by 10 lost he lost WA-8 by 8 points. Because these people WANT tax cuts Washington doesn’t have a income tax so no one will punished in Washington. Then there is guy he has a SLIGHTLY better chance at beating Rossi since he isn’t as far left but come on https://mobile.twitter.com/JRittereiser .

These are the candidates for WA-8 see why the Dems won’t win now?

Governor Rossi thanks WA-08 for its margin in 2004

Rating leaning Republican.

Wait a minute—are you saying that you believe that Rossi is favored to win this seat?

I wasn't ready for that, he needed to add it was a hot take.

[Bidenworth2020]

Has Rossi won anythhing in his life?

A number of state senate elections.

He was appointed to his current seat. He won two State Senate elections. One in 1996 and one in 2000. His last winning election campaign was thus 18 years ago.

His last winning race was in 2004 when he was certified governor elect then certified governor elect again.

Except he never became governor

Because it was rigged against him.

and it wasn't rigged against Franken. Dems should be able to at least have recounts if pubs viciously support the vote

[Bidenworth2020]

The Democrat party is being crushed in the 8th district!
