The real surprising number there is the one in favor of Dino Rossi.

That desperate career loser has been running, and losing, for every office short of Seattle City Dog Catcher, for about fifteen years now.

If that wanker is in the hunt for anything, democratics are seriously hurting.
 
Actually Dino Rossi has a highly successful and respected tenure as a state Senator in the Washington Legislature. He was initially elected as Governor in 2004 - then lost by just by just 129 votes after two controversial recounts. He is a solid fiscal conservative - particularly coming from a state as liberal-leaning as Washington St. He would certainly prove a vast improvement over the far left rubber stamp that is Patti Murray...

Rossi served in the Washington State Senate from 1997 until December 2003, when he resigned to spend full time running for governor.[10] During his time as senator, he gained a reputation for being a political consensus builder with a proven ability to build bipartisan coalitions.[11] When the Senate Republicans gained the majority in 2002, Rossi became chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee that writes the state’s two year operating budget. It was in this position that Rossi was widely credited for closing a $2.7 billion budget deficit without raising taxes.[12] He passed this budget with bipartisan support,[13] gaining praise from members of both parties, including the ranking Democrat on the budget committee. The budget chief for Democratic Governor Gary Locke said of Rossi in 2003, “The really good legislators move from one side to the other really effortlessly, and I think Dino did that.”[11]

Rossi sponsored a number of bills as a state senator prior to his role as chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, including the “Two Strikes” bill that puts child molesters away for life after a second conviction.[14] In 1998, he sponsored the “Mary Johnsen Act,”[15] named for a Sammamish resident who was killed by a drunk driver. The bill required ignition interlock devices for certain convicted drunk drivers in the state of Washington. Rossi received the national finalist award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving for his work. He also sponsored the “Dane Rempfer bill”[16] that boosted penalties for those who left the scene of a fatal accident, named after a 15 year old boy from his district who was killed in a hit-and-run. It was his work on the 2003 budget that spurred others to recruit Rossi to run for governor.

I worked in the Seattle area for the bulk of '08.

After seeing what a horribly inept birdbrain that Christine Gregoire is, I thought you could run a PBJ sammich against her and win...That was until I heard Rossi open up his neocon pie hole.

Like I said...If that nitwit is within the margin of error in any race in WA, the Democrat Party is in BIG trouble.
 
"Was not Jesus an extremist for love -- "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you." Was not Amos an extremist for justice -- "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." Was not Paul an extremist for the gospel of Jesus Christ -- "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Was not Martin Luther an extremist -- "Here I stand; I can do none other so help me God." Was not John Bunyan an extremist -- "I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience." Was not Abraham Lincoln an extremist -- "This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." Was not Thomas Jefferson an extremist -- "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." So the question is not whether we will be extremist but what kind of extremist will we be. Will we be extremists for hate or will we be extremists for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice--or will we be extremists for the cause of justice? In that dramatic scene on Calvary's hill, three men were crucified. We must not forget that all three were crucified for the same crime--the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thusly fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment." -mlk
