Anyone want to enter this into the polls for me?

Although she is under 50%, I think she will have the advantage, although politics seem tumultuous in WA. The ferry problems and all of the spending proposals are starting to seem a little overwhelming to me. It looks like she is trying to get things done, but people and the media might take it the wrong way.

Stuart Elway doesn't have the greatest record.

Lots of undecideds for a race that's...already happened and stuff.

But, damn.

[Meeker]

Good... but Elway sucks. Hard.

He got the 2006 senate race almost spot on when others were predicting a much closer race. So at least he has that...

That may, seriously, be the only race he's ever got right though.

Nice guy by all accounts, but as a pollster...nice guy.

This scared me until I saw it was Elway.  His margin of error is usually double digits.

Rossi's candidacy is a joke.  He criticizes Gregoire for overspending, but declines to say what programs he specifically would cut.  He claims that she is fiscally irresponsible even though the state has as budget surplus and she helped pass a rainy day fund where money will be kept for lean times.  He criticizes her plans on 520 and the Alaska Way Viaduct, but fails to offer a detailed plan himself.  Criticism is cheap and so is Rossi.
