Dropped my ballot off this morning, voted for 1 incumbant, said goodbye to everybody else. Actually voted for a mix of D's and R's, pretty much evenly. You can thank me later.
Let's hope it sticks.

That's funny. My wife asked me how I voted and I told her I mostly followed the "2-N principle". "New and No."

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Yeah, baby, yeah!
So far, this (Dogfish, Chuck, and possibly Lead Bouncer) makes at least two more people than I thought were actually going to follow through with this. No question, we are dealing with some seriously corrupt, arrogant assholes here, so the would-be replacements likely aren't much better in nature than the incumbents, but this would definitely give them something to think about before voting against the will of their constituents.
Now we just have to hope enough others are sufficiently pissed (and not entirely brainwashed into believing they need to hold the party line) so that the message can be sent, loud and clear. Of course, the Presidential election of 2000 taught us that actual votes don't necessarily determine the outcome....
Here's to some positive thinking and taking action the only way we can.
Kudos!

Kudos! When reality sets in we'll see the same old same old in office. This is Washington. Nothing will change. 2 years from now our Queen will get re-elected and we can watch things stay the same. Pretty pathetic.

You know what, that will only come true if we let it come true. It is time to hope for some change.

I know. R's in WA state are doomed for a while if Rossi is the best they run out there. He's going to lose and lose until he finally gets elected. Look for him on a school board near you.
I also can't stand a beareau-lifer like Sen Murray.
Y'know Mike MoonPellets doesn't sound so bad...

Don't know for sure yet, but it looks like our new 22nd Dist. rep is going to be the liberal most like his predecessor. We have lots of Dems in office around here whose most important contribution is displacing space that might have otherwise been taken up with RWWJ Republicans. I still gotta' think that an Evans style R could win in a lot of districts in WA. But no, the only Rs running anymore are all anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, anti-anything a Dem is for, anti-taxes, anti-assisted suicide, anti-drug legalization, anti-medical marijuana, anti-social welfare and social programs, BUT for corporate welfare, except possibly professional basketball. Can't recall if any of them are for anything else at all. Well except maybe Legislator's salary and per diem.

Didier might have had a shot, he ran a good campaign, but he wasn't in enough pockets to buy the Westside vote.
Pretty sad state of affairs when that's what our elections are all about. "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people?" It isn't about the people anymore, it's only about the party and their power. F'd up if you ask me.

Sometime you should find out how much you have to PAY the GOP just to run as a Republican.
