I did change my mailing address, but I'll have to make sure they don't end up sending it to my Sammamish house!

Disturbing, but Hutchison is doing and saying all the right things. Of course, when she tries to get detailed she proves how she doesn't know what she's talking about (link), but the average swing voter (remember, swing voters are idiots who don't vote on issues) isn't going to realize that.

Personally, I still suspect Constantine will win, but Hutchison is doing better than I originally anticipated and I'll admit I'm worried.

For comparison, SUSA's early October poll for the 2005 race showed Sims beating Irons by 5, and in the end Sims won by 16.

By the way Bgwah, Larry Stickney himself was the No on Ref. 71 debater we had over here at Gonzaga. Remember this is the guy who has married three times, was accused of beating his wife and refused to send his daughter to college.

Haha, wow. But the hypocrisy "family values" figures is well known. For example, they say we need to "protect our children," and I'm left wondering "How many children has the average anti-gay bigot adopted?" Probably close to 0. You see, it's an abomination when an orphan is given a home with loving parents, but if they rot in some orphanage or starve on the streets? Meh, who cares! It's quite obvious that most of the "reasons" for opposing gay rights are a thin veil to cover their primitive cultist hatreds.

Quite frankly, if R-71 is approved, they might as well legalize gay marriage since this is becoming a gay marriage vote even if it's actually only domestic partnerships.

BAM: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politicsnorthwest/2010073324_e-mail_constantine_was_prepare.html

Prepare for a depressing yet amusing Palinesque one term for Susan Hutchison followed by King County permanently turning into a permanent one party state in 2013... Wink

Is this how Republicans feel about Obama? We think Hutchison is an unqualified crazy closet-creationist, while they think he is an unqualified crazy closet-socialist. Grin

The difference is we're right.

SUSA, Seattle mayor (link):

Mallahan 43%
McGinn 36%

Among those who have already voted or who are complete liars (19%), Mallahan leads 48-44.

Mallahan, oddly, leads among all groups except for the young, liberals, non-college graduates, the working-class and Asians.

I suspect the precinct map for this will look pretty similar to the bag tax map.

Definitely a few guesses that I could be completely wrong for on my county maps... The Portland media market in particular is always hard to peg.

Anyway, my I-1033 map. I say the vote goes 42.5-57.5


R-71... I say 54.5-45.5


SEATTLE MAYOR
54-46 Mallahan

KING COUNTY EXECUTIVE
54-46 Constantine

Spokane is 58% no for 1033 and 60% reject for 71.

This isn't looking good for R-71...
