Murray at only 43% against a terrible opponent...wow.
Republicans need to get McMorris Rodgers in this.
Washington state resident here.
McMorris Rodgers would have a zero percent chance of winning statewide, just like every other candidate from east of the Cascades. The Washington State GOP strategy, and the only way that they've been competitive in gubernatorial races in the past decade, has been running "moderates" from suburban King County. And even then they still lose, though it's probably helped them down ballot and allowed them to hold onto the State Senate.
In a federal election, like this senate race, the GOP has absolutely no chance of winning. The national GOP brand is just too toxic in vote-rich suburban King County. 2010 was only as "close" as it was because it was a GOP wave election. Murray has a less than zero percent chance of losing in 2016.
Now Inslee, on the other hand, might've been vulnerable if the GOP could've recruited Andy Hill of Steve Litzow. Instead they're running some no-name joke who will probably lose by double digits.
