thanks for that. what about Spokane area, is that liberal or conservative?
Spokane proper is pretty much 50/50, but the Spokane suburbs and rural areas are by and large quite Republican.
If Obama is winning by 15-20 points here like the polls indicate, Spokane County will probably be a toss-up.
Spokane county will likely go for Obama this year by around 2-5%, in 2004 Bush just barely won the county. The city of Spokane itself is suprisingly liberal for an Eastern Washington city, it is the suburbs around it that moderate the area.
