Gov. Locke has decided to NOT run for a 3rd term!!

I'm with you, Sparkey! I'm surprised the fool has the intelligence to realize how badly he would be trounced if he did run again!

It will be very interesting to see who the GOP comes up with this time. Hopefully, they will choose someone with more of a mainstream appeal so we actually have a race.

Just as long as Sims does not become Govenor I am happy.

who ever wins more than likely will come from the king county area because they can out vote the rest of the state

Eddie..you will be pleased to know that Judy NiCASTRO is planning to enter the Democratic primary. Not sure who out there could be worse for fishing than Gary but I'm sure the Demos will come up with someone. I have no clue who the Republican candidate would be but the King County candidates will be big spenders I'm sure. Ron Simms would be GREAT!!! Tax everything and build homes for the homeless......What a country!

Sure AM......that way grandpa could bag on Locke, I'll bag on Slade Gorton and we can both admit that neither party has a fish-friendly candidate to offer.

So what's new?

Grandpa, I don't know - Judy Nicastro may be a good choice. We need a candidate who supports strip clubs

Seriously, I agree with Aunty M, it would be wise to have this board get a real read on how the candidates support sportsfishermen. Might be time to get organized and write a series of questions that can be sent to the candidates under the auspices of this board to make some objective determination. Open question to Bob, Would you be willing to allow your board to send a questionaire to the candidates?
As much as Grandpa would like to paint me a Democrat, it's just not true. I tend to be left of center, but will vote based on the candidate, not the Party. However, I will probably never be a single issue voter. There is only one person that I know of that I agree with 98% of the time, and doggone it, I'm just not electable.

Isn't it amazing what a motivated group of sports anglers can accomplish. We showed up IN FORCE in Salem and made a difference. No reason why it can't happen elsewhere.
We are also putting pressure on a certain state senator about river access also.

I'M ONLY GOING TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE THAT LIKES TO HUNT, FISH, DRINK BEER AND SMOKE CIGARS!!!!!!!

Cigar

Locke has finally made a good decision.

You know... I think this might be the first productive thing he's ever done!

To late for Boing I guess, but at least we may be able to save Microsoft.
