Washington 2020: The Calm Before the Drizzle

[Daniel Z]

What's the latest news on this race?  I know it's been considered the most heated election this year.

For most of the race Rossi has dominated in the media. Finaly Gregoire is on the air. I fear it will be too little too late though.

You all are talking (well, typing) as if Governor Gregoire is doomed to defeat (at least coming up with scenarios involving Dino Rossi as a possible rising star for GOP hopes in 2012).  Is she?  I haven't seen any new polls out, but the most recent one I thought I have seen has her leading by about 1% -basically a dead-heat. 

The latest poll that had Gregoire by 1 also had Obama by 16. If Rossi is really running 15 point ahead of McCain, Gregoire is indeed doomed. Plus every other tv ad is a Rossi ad. I think Rossi would be more credible in 2016 if he wins reelection.

Ladenburg's kind of a douchebag, so whatever. We'll have to deal with McKenna in 2012 though.

Thats the main reason I voted for Ladenburg.

Good night so far.

I called Thurston.  They normally charge $50, but the lady working there said they'll probably make an exemption.  I just need to talk directly with the lady who specializes in shapefiles tomorrow.

I should probably have it tomorrow afternoon-ish.  Adams County should be up later this afternoon.

Great!

The results from the non-Dutch areas of Whatcom look good.

The next Dixie Lee?
