Incumbent Murray expands lead in Senate race
OLYMPIA — Democratic incumbent Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi headed into a third day of vote tallies today with no clear winner in Washington state’s U.S. Senate race.
Murray clung to a wider but still small lead after the latest vote counts, with hundreds of thousands of ballots still to tally. Neither side had declared an end to the race.
With roughly two-thirds of the expected ballots counted by Wednesday night, Murray led Rossi by about 51 percent to 49 percent. The actual vote totals were 828,276 for Murray to 800,812 for Rossi — a margin of about 27,000 votes out of more than 1.6 million counted so far in unofficial returns.
“We’re feeling good. We’re feeling confident,” deputy Murray campaign manager Alex Glass said Wednesday.
“There’s a number of ballots to be counted and we should make sure that every vote is counted,” Rossi spokeswoman Jennifer Morris said.
Rossi is ahead in every county east of the Cascades. In Spokane County, he received 56.5 percent of the votes cast, or 12,475 more than Murray. Rossi also is ahead in 10 counties west of the Cascades, but Murray’s strong lead in King County — she has 62.6 percent of the votes there so far — has helped her maintain a lead.
Nearly everyone in Washington votes by mail and ballots may be returned through Election Day, leaving several days of processing and counting as envelopes postmarked as late as midnight Tuesday make their way to election officials.
The ballot-counting lag also means it’s still unclear just how many people voted in the 2010 election. Election officials expected a 66 percent statewide turnout, which would be about 2.4 million voters.
Much depends on the results in heavily Democratic King County, which includes Seattle. Nearly a third of the state’s roughly 3.6 million registered voters live in King County.
The national stakes for the Murray-Rossi race declined considerably once Democratic victories in West Virginia and Nevada ensured the GOP could not take control of the Senate. But a Murray victory would give Democrats a further cushion as Republicans take control of the House for the rest of President Barack Obama’s term.
Obama made two visits to Washington to stump for Murray, including a raucous October rally attended by about 10,000 at the University of Washington. It was part of a push by national Democrats to turn out friendly voters here: former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and first lady Michelle Obama also visited Washington just as voters were receiving their ballots in mid-October.
State law would mandate a re-count if the race’s margin is less than 2,000 votes. Washington has seen close races recently, including 2004’s gubernatorial contest and Democrat Maria Cantwell’s re-count victory over Republican Sen. Slade Gorton in 2000.
Murray’s campaign for a fourth term featured a strong defense of her role in securing federal spending for Washington, highlighting the specific bridges, dams, highways, hospitals and construction jobs she helped deliver.
Rossi tried to turn those points against Murray, campaigning as a fiscal conservative who would forgo pet-project spending until the budget was balanced. He also criticized her support for Democratic overhauls of health care and Wall Street regulations.
Murray spent nearly $15 million through September to Rossi’s roughly $2.5 million, but a flood of outside money helped Rossi keep up. Figures compiled by the Sunlight Foundation showed Rossi benefited from about $11 million in independent spending, compared with about $8.5 million in Murray’s column.

Dino!!!!
My dream of Bumgardener has come true. John “Dreamy Eyes” Ahern and the Maplewood Gardens Militia is ready to seize power, as well.
But Dinooooooooo! What is happening? You promised us tea partiers that you were going to do whatever popped into our heads, yet you are not winning.
Fearing disaster, I immediately sent my money in to get a piece of Kleenex which contains some tear drops from John Boehner that he squirted out Tuesday Night. His lacrimations are said to have miraculous qualities and I am rubbing my computer screen with them right now.
My screen is turning a little orangey. Is this a precursor to red? I think it is! Hopefully, this relic rubbing gets you in office Dino!

The breakdown by county in the senatorial race is telling.
As was the split of vote by gender.
Why are most of us men so stupid?
WillyPeter on November 04 at 9:37 a.m.
Washingtonians left, right, and center all know that if the election out-come is determined by King County, the King County Election’s Office will ensure that Patty, or any Democrat caught in a close count, will prevail. Sheeesh!! Amazin’ that we continue to play this ‘close count’ game when, again, we know - just like we know who’s gonna win the Husky/Duck game Saturday - what the outcome will be….BTW, how many King County ACORN folks did time for their Rossi/Gregoire shenanigans in 2004?

greenlibertarian on November 04 at 9:58 a.m.
Without the vibrant business climate in (blue) King Co., the bulk of the rest of the state would be even more impoverished than they are. Just like in the nation, where the blue states are net contributors to federal coffers, and the red states are welfare basket cases, kept out of third world status only because they suck, big time, off the public teat.

What a BEAUTIFUL SOUND!!!
hawken on November 04 at 10:09 a.m.
If Dino loses…
which I am not ready to concede at this point,,,, but,, if he does (and it does look probable to date)….
It’s says more about the liberal left voters on the West side, and the small minority of liberal left voters on the East side,,, than it does Dino.
Even the hard core, liberal left, Massachusetts had the good sense to elect Scott Brown (Republican) to fill the seat of long time far liberal left Ted Kennedy.
Seems that, WA state could learn from historically, far left, Massachusetts.
While I will be deeply disappointed, if Rossi does lose…. It will not change that which is to come, that which has been set in place, with the bloodshed of the Democrats nationally.
I will say this…..
If Murray is again elected…. I will have to significantly modify my view for the liberal left of Massachusetts….
The liberal left, WA state, will clearly replace Massachusetts in its previous, high status among liberals..

Maby Rossi could have got some free press if he told us;
–––––-I’m not a warlock I’m you.–––––
Thank-you Washington for voting sanity! this vote!
make sure you tell everyone Republicans OWN health care after one year…….
in repudiation of Obama OWNING Bush deficits after one year.
The party of NO has changed hands……to OBAMA of NO.
prepare for a landslide ouster of Republicans 2012! yeah!

soccermomsusie on November 04 at 10:12 a.m.
WillyPeter,
Why it is true that ACORN was acquitted of all charges of wrong doing, the fact remains that they were always committed to the crime of registering poor people to vote.
Why is this a crime? Simply put, poor people are poor because that’s the way God wants it (or they are lazy). So why do we want their vote to count as much as a wealthy (blessed by God/hard working) person’s vote? Do we really want to offend the Allmighty in such a manner?
This is why it is so great that we have a super majority requirement back again TOO! This way every legislator’s vote does not count the same. Us Republicans’ vote now counts twice as much as the Demoncrats’. This is the way the Good Lord wants it. True, that the same kind of thing happened in the Southern USA a long time ago and people complained, this is entirely different. This time it isn’t about race. It’s about affluence!
Legislators who want to protect the wealthy from taxes’ vote now counts twice as much as those who want to balance the budget and protect the poor/provide public safety/provide education! What a blessing!
COME ON DINO! YOU CAN DO IT! GWB IS BACK IN THE HOUSE AND WE NEED YOU IN THE SENATE TO GET HIM BACK THERE TOO!!!!
HEAR OUR VOICE!!!!
spokanecougar on November 04 at 10:19 a.m.
How happy I am to live in a progressive liberal state like Washington and not in some crap hole red state like Oklahoma. I am glad I live in a state where a majority of the people actually care about people despite there race, gender or sexuality. I like living in a state were people try to help the less fortunate and not just looking our for the rich. I like living in a state were I don’t have to worry about stupid hateful initiative on the ballot that make sharia law illegal in my state. Yes, I am happy to be living on the left coast on the country were people more more tolerant of others and their views.
Hawken, move to Idaho at least, you would fit right in were your racist hateful views.
drywitt99 on November 04 at 10:19 a.m.

The teabaggers couldn’t win in Alaska….Colorado….or Nevada.
NONE of which will be confused with Massachusetts.
A major Republican election history….yes.
But a MAJOR DEFEAT for the cancer of the teabagger movement!!
soccermomsusie on November 04 at 10:20 a.m.
Hawken! Keep the faith!!!
You are right about Dry Witt! He may think he can drink, but our new speaker of the house - JOHN BOEHNER could drink him under the table, outcry Mr. Glenn Beck, go get a good healthy tan and give a stirring speech to the nation with barely a slur and come back and drink Dry Witt under the table again. YOU, DRY WITT, ARE A LIGHT WEIGHT!
Hawken, we haven’t seen anything yet.
I am hoping Dino and JB will be hoisting a few tall ones (drinks not men - see I know where you pervs want to take this) in our nation’s capitol soon!

hawken on November 04 at 10:25 a.m.
Here are indisputable facts!
1-The American people have spoken. Never has there been such a transfer of power in the mid-term elections since the 1800s.
2- Obama, far left liberalism has been defeated in terms I find hard to describe.
3- If I were so arrogant, as Obama,,,, I would say to all from the liberal left…. “Your welcome to come along for the ride,,, but please, have a seat in the back of the bus.” Para phrased, of course, but you all get it..
AS FOR COMPROMISE….. HERE’S COMPROMISE….
NO COMPROMISE on the following:
1- Repeal Obama-Scare…. Which the new Republicans will ask for… and be rejected either at the Senate or with Presidential veto. Nevertheless…. The House will do this…. and then let the Democrats reject it to their own peril in 2012.
A- Once the Repeal legislation is rejected by the Dems and/or the President….. Refuse to fund Obama care as it’s written.
B- Simultaneously, the Republicans should sponsor legislation to modify the many, many financial and piratical elements of Obama Scare.
1- Make the Bush tax cuts “permanent”…. across the board! Which will be extremely valuable for the small business owner to create more jobs….
1- CUT big government Spending…. NOW! Let’s start with the obese, ineffective, U.S. Department of Education….
1- Pass a Balance Budget Amendment. The American household has to balance our home budgets…. So should the government…
1- ELIMINATE ALL EARMARK, PORK BARREL SPENDING!
On these issues…. NO COMPROMISE!… Republicans…NO COMPROMISE!
So says the American electorate as of Tuesday past, in the most historical transfer of power in a mid-term election since the 1800s! Historical!
If this is not supported by the new Republicans and the liberal left Democrats,,, and the liberal left President…. All of the above will experience more political bloodshed in 2012.
The American electorate has SHOUTED the above to Washington D.C…. the House, the Senate, Governors across the land and state legislatures across the land.
We live in a republic, wherein elected officials are required to represent the majority voice of the people. The people have spoken, November 2, 2010.
Now is the time for ALL politicians to listen, and respond accordingly.
hawken on November 04 at 10:27 a.m.
Drywitt…. me thinks you could use some help from AA… just a thought.
hawken on November 04 at 10:29 a.m.
Oh yes…. George Bush II…. “Elections have consequences.”
drywitt99 on November 04 at 10:33 a.m.
greenie:
Carly wasn’t a teabagger. Just a wealthy Republican who thought she could buy a Senate seat. WRONG!!
Same for Meg. And because I was limiting my wise and clever observations to Senate races, I didn’t mention her.
But if we look to crash and burn teabagger candidates outside of the Senate, yes we have:
“Govenor Robitaille”
“Govenor Paladino”
“Congressman Rich (dress like a Nazi) Iott.
But look on the bright side….just think off ALL the new talking heads for FOX News.
FOX News…….where teabaggers go to die!!
hawken on November 04 at 10:33 a.m.
I will confess that I was wrong…. I was so naive to believe that I could pull back from this forum after the elections were decided…
Huge misjudgment on my part! And, I should have known better after all of my 40+ years in defeating liberals in debate.
The fact is that liberalism must be defeated every day… ongoing…
Therefore I repent and recant…. I think I’ll stick around, at least, between now and 2012.
spokanecougar on November 04 at 10:35 a.m.
Hawken, if you think Obama is a radical, what did you think of Cheney/Bush?
Also, yet again, you are not a liberal and you obviously have no idea what a liberal is. Obama is NOT a liberal, you need to stop calling him that cause it makes you look uninformed and only spouting the Fox News talking points. Hawken, I am liberal, Obama is not a liberal and as I said before if he was a liberal we would have gay marriage equality, universal or single payer health care, repeal of don’t ask don’t tell and a large public works project repairing this countries out of date and run down infrastructure and a clean energy bill that gets this country off its dependence of foreign oil. Also both wars and America’s global empire would be over. These are the biggest issues in the liberal agenda, Obama hasn’t even come close to working on them.
Hawken if you knew anything and stopped listen to Fox News you would know Obama is much more of a moderate independent that even Clinton was.

Or maybe just the American people voting NO on stupidity….hatred….intolerance…..racism…..homophobia.
hawken on November 04 at 10:51 a.m.
drywitt… are you suggesting “censorship of free speech”?… like NPR with Juan Williams….
Far left, liberal censorship?
Like the failed attempt of the liberal left to implement, through big government, liberal left, legislation, your so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
The problem is, as I have pointed out many times in the past, on this forum….. is that you on the liberal left…. DO NOT LIKE RATIONAL, LOGICAL, “RETURN FIRE.”
The demonstrable fact is that you on the liberal left simply cannot, logically and reasonably defend your liberal left world view.
Based upon the election results of Tuesday,,, you know,, the Democrat bloodbath,,,? America agrees.
hawken on November 04 at 10:52 a.m.
drywitt…. Really!!! Attend some AA meetings! I think you might get some help…. you know?? With your denial?
drywitt99 on November 04 at 11:03 a.m.
hawken:
You may be wrong most of the time…..but I do detect a certain humanity behind the gibberish. Which does separate you from susie…..and the rest of the teabaggers.
Oh….did I mention….
Senator O’Donnell
Senator Angle
Senator Buck
Senator Miller
Govenor Tancredo
Govenor Paladino
Congressman Iott
Oh…I did??? Sorry.
And although they were Republicans of a more traditional sort, the candidacies of Senator Fiorina, Govenor Whitman, and Govenor McMahon.
Three RICH women…..spending in excess of $200,000,000 of their own money……NOT to be elected to office.
Are these examples of Republican financial responsibility???
hawken on November 04 at 11:13 a.m.
drywitt….
“Republicans of a more traditional sort”…. are RINOs… Republican’s In Name Only…
These are almost, as much to blame as the liberal left concerning the sad state of our great nation.
As far as I’m concerned…. if this new class of Republicans prove to be nothing different…. You on the left can have it ALL…. until Americans can re-organize a new, legitimate, conservative party.
I told the “Republicans of a more traditional sort”… to quit asking me for more money years ago…. And I have not sent them one penny since.
“Republicans of a more traditional sort” are a disgrace to the party of Lincoln…. the man who destroyed the evil of slavery and maintained the union of the Republic.
My issues are not limited to the far left….
I do have great hope in this new class of Republicans…. We’ll see… I am NOT a blind loyalist to party.
I AM a loyalist to the greatness of American and the proven principals upon which we were founded…. and which have made us unique in the world for over 200 yrs…. The Great American Experiment.
Do you understand?
rshroll on November 04 at 11:14 a.m.
My brother moved to Boston and it is awesome. His PhD in Theoretical Chemistry and 3 post doctorates are making him happy and wealthy over there. Unfortunately MA does vote a bad conservative in from time to time, but so do we. The spokesman had an article about white voters that seems to ring true from what I observe. White voters with a 4 year degree or more are 20-25% more likely to vote democrat. It says a lot about why the urban areas and the Northeast lean to democrats so heavily. Thank goodness for urban America and college education.
Dazzeetrader11 on November 04 at 11:17 a.m.
Just a bunch of smartasses who can’t figure it out that the sissy libs got their rear ends handed to them. How funny.
Conservatives wiped the floor with the libs….and Rossi cannot win IF the decision is left to King Co. SOmethings wrong with that.
Alinsky limo libs…can only live if they demean and divide people. Sorry Dino’s behind but every candidate Daisy had…won. WON big too.
Verner and her council and then Obama…these fools must go..and they will.
Historical wipeout of the libs. The country’s back. I’d wager that Obama wouldn’t be elected if the media hadn’t done it snowjob and if America knew what this pretender really was. HE hid himself. He had no record..a do nothing lib hiding under the cloak of purported racism. He’s a fake and now that he’s exposed, he has no chance. What does have a chance is the addition of 23 Dem seats up for grabs next cycle.
Obama cannot move to the middle. He’s an idealogue who’s fixated on his own ideas. He’ll lose and lose big. Gives a nice speech though. The country won’t forgive him and his crew of socialist for what they’ve tried to do. Pubs will keep the pressure and America will continue to veer right. 20% on the US is liberal..it’s not enough.
And Couglette…when you tell our friend Hawken to move to Idaho, think about moving to King Co if you love the lib life. It’s the only part of the state that fills you needs. E Wa is a conservative bastion. To wit….
Baumgartner won, French won. Ahern won. Rossi’s close.
Think it’s a trend? lolol America and Washington St have spoken. Live with it. MSNBC won’t exist as it is in 3 months…wait for it.

I am not a blind loyalist to idiot candidates such as the Tea Party backed in Nevada, Sharon Angle,, …. and O’Donnel, Delaware…
The Tea Party will correct their failures, hopefully, through a more thorough vetting of those whom they support.
Nobody gets it all right…. Nobody wins them all.

at the risk of repeating myself, I’ll be waiting for the jobs, shrinking government, the housing market to rebound and banks to start lending again. The Republicans say their agenda will fix it all, so let’s go. It should only take about two years.
hawken on November 04 at 11:34 a.m.
spokanecougar
You say…..
“Hawken, move to Idaho at least, you would fit right in were your racist hateful views.”
Without the race card, you are totally naked and incapable of defending your liberal left chaos.
The fact is that:
1- I am not a racist
2- You can produce nothing to prove your vicious accusation …. It is impossible to prove the negative…. that which does not exist.
We hear nothing more than the screech of a dying animal…. Namely, far left liberalism.
But I assure all that this is not a total, political extermination….
They will be back, albeit, hopefully, in smaller numbers in 2012.
Beyond that? Who knows?
drywitt99 on November 04 at 11:34 a.m.
hawken:
Great speech!
What are you running for in 2012??
When I look at the teabaggers I do NOT see a Lincoln, or a Teddy Roosevelt…..my two personal favorite Republicans.
Or even an Eisenhower or a George H W Bush……two Republicans with whom I rarely agreed…….but for whom I have a great deal of respect.
If the teabagger’s were around in the 1960s, would they have supported the civil rights movement…….as a great many of that era’s RINOs did?
And I will repeat a question which I have posed several times over the past weeks:
If Timothy McVeigh had blown up the Murrah Federal Building in 2010 rather than 1995…..what would the response of the teabaggers have been ?
Horror…..disgust???
Or a sly smile….a gentle shaking of the head….and the comment: “Well the socialist federal government got what it deserved.”
Hell….McVeigh probably would have been a teabagger candidate in Oklahoma.
THAT’S what I understand.
hawken on November 04 at 11:38 a.m.
johnclarke…. maybe so in two years…. probably not….
You fail to acknowledge, which I’m sure is calculated….
The liberal left still owns control of the U.S. Senate…. and the White House with the mighty, presidential veto pen….
I will acknowledge this…. we might in fact have functional control of the U.S. Senate…. There are a number of U.S. Democrat Senators that will be up of election in 2012…. I am sure they will NOT forget the bloodbath of their colleagues on Tuesday past.
We’ll see.
Bruce (aka thatoneguy) on November 04 at 11:39 a.m.
One person, one vote. That’s the way it works. Counties don’t vote, and neither do square miles. PEOPLE vote. King County has approx. 4 times as many registered voters as Spokane County, and they are estimating that it’s going to be 71% voter turnout by the time they’re done counting. From the numbers, it looks like the turnout % will be about the same in Spokane Co. but with 1/4 the total numbers. (see http://vote.wa.gov/Elections/WEI/VoterTurnout.aspx?ElectionID=37)
By the way, Massachusetts has gay marriage and a state-sponsored health insurance plan; and the first thing their newly elected Republican senator did was disappoint his leadership by not voting with them on… I forget what it was. I don’t think I’d mind being more like MA. An elected official with an actual independent mind might be kind of interesting.
hawken on November 04 at 11:41 a.m.
drywitt….
Teddy Roosevelt was a “Progressive Republican”….
It’s no wonder he’s one of your favorites.
Lincoln as one of your favorites is admirable…. But Lincoln is a oxymoron when used in the same sentence with far left liberal.

soccermomsusie on November 04 at 11:58 a.m.
Hawken, as usual, you are showing off the extreme intellect of our side!
Teddy Roosevelt, as you point out, was a liberal Republican. He broke from the Republican Party because he was against child labor and we see where that led to - bunch of kids sitting around in school when they could be making things! Plus, what a boon for the socialist unions when companies could no longer make infants churn butter and toddlers weld.
No one else seemed to get your “Obama to the back of the bus” joke. What a bunch of losers! I got it!!
On a more important note - John “Dreamy Eyes” Ahern is ready to move back to Olympia and strike a blow for our seniors upon our smart-allecky youngsters butts! Looking forward to a battle cry to fight the war for Christmas from him again!!!

Greenie..senate comes next.
House was claimed…beyond dispute.
One guy…King County has 1/3rd of all registered voters in the entire state! That’s how huge it is when voting. It’s a liberal bastion. All E Wa voting could be begated by Kinf Co. They are liberal and they won’t vote for Rossi. He will win all but 3 counties..and still lose. Friday night we’ll know more.
BUT if it goes to a recount, he’ll lose. Pelz is already prepared for it. Pelz never has lost in a recount. Ask Rossi. Pelz nailed him after 2 recounts favored Dino. Same crew went to Minnesota to find dead people and felons to vote for AL Franken.
Nationally Pelz is the expert…and he works for Gregoire, Murray and the Dems. He never plays it straight but he never loses.

Is there something unfair about each person getting one vote?
Counties don’t matter.
As daisy said, we’ll know more on Friday… I suppose the biased vote counters in King County are probably saving up their dead people & felons for last in case it’s close… not really sure how such things are managed.
misjustice on November 04 at 12:35 p.m.
Why does the East side even attempt to vote? Why not just leave it all up to King county because it ultimately is the only voting that counts.
Maybe we need to start doing electoral votes like we do when voting for president. Washington counties each have a % of votes per population & in the end the one with the most electoral votes wins it all.
Anyway… I’m pretty tired of King County telling me what I have to do on this side of the state. (Freeway taxes, Viaduct taxes, Pay for Baseball-Football-Basketball Arena’s that support the West side & does nothing for us over here.)
eagleproducer on November 04 at 1:00 p.m.
gramma: Murray would still win under your addlepated scenario. King County would just have more electoral votes to negate the morons on this side of the state whose motto is “Live poor, vote rich.”
bdr on November 04 at 1:00 p.m.
In the Ditch McConnell suggested repeal of health care was priority 1.
The vote says…..(it aint over till the fat lady’s dress is stained).
Theirs plenty of democrats still left to support the hard fought health care package…and Murry is one of the top hands!
hooray!
If your Republican…I’m sorry but you’ll never accomplish repeal or replace. (you forgot you have to have a full 60) + a non veto.
Idiots like J Boehner who package paper to cover 3 million verse 35 million is not even apples to apples comparison.
The Republicans will OWN health care because the gnat brains they have shifted Bush deficits to Obama Ownership in less than 1 year will now reverse. ((Now we can place the Natzi stash on In the ditch McConnell.))
Calling all Republicans the short bus is loading now!

Forty years of defeating liberals in debate?
When are you going to attempt to do that here? Get started, Hawken. Let’s see what you’ve got!

If Dino can’t even win this year surely they will stop running him for office because he can’t win. Unless the plan is to not win.

King County has 1/3 of the state’s registered voters. Other counties have 2/3. All I have to say is: thank God east siders don’t bother to vote.
schleufer on November 04 at 1:15 p.m.
I wasn’t talkin to you…. I was talkin about dino. u know, Dino the dinosaur. Yeah the dems took a beating but now the republicans are going to have to figure out how to get something done by saying no. The country is going to stagnate while the repubs line they pockets with corporate money. What do you suppose the odds are that they will ever vote for anything leaning towards them disclosing where all that money is coming from? It ainte gonna happen. The money will continue to flow and the people will continue to get sold out. You people got what you wished for and now we will all be regretting it.
misjustice on November 04 at 1:29 p.m.
@ spokane liberal; I agree. If DiNO! couldn’t win this year, he NEVER will. Not in Washington state, anyways.
DiNO! = 3 time loser!

I”m not picking a fight, but I do have to ask…
If the GOP is able to lead us to the promised land and great prosperity, and the Dems are nothing but a bunch of satanists who want to make us all poorer, why didn’t it work last time?
They had a golden opportunity to show us what they could do?
Now, if you blame the Dems for Rep failings in the years 2001-2007, wouldn’t you have to allow others to blame the Reps for the years 2009-2010?
Or is the mythology that everything was great until the Obama?
I”m actually very serious…what is it you tell yourselves about why Karl Rove’s generation of conservative government didn’t happen?
Shadedmuse on November 04 at 1:48 p.m.
Dino You lost another race this is three in a row, NOW GO AWAY!!!!!!!!! and Drink your Rossi Whine. Dino you lost, you have no chance, because when 44 percent vote for murray in Spokane you know you lost. Murray has more votes then you across the state, so Dino go away Washington state is NOT a Rossi-Bush-Cheney Neo-Clown state!!!!!! we are a Progressive Obama State!!!!!!!! Rossi you lost three times NOW GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MrNatural on November 04 at 2:02 p.m.
Man!…nothing has changed…the republicans will continue to fight the democrats at every turn so they can revel in their ineffectiveness.
misjustice on November 04 at 2:09 p.m.
Scoutster; sqawken explained it, ad nauseum, in one of his lectures.
The reason that it didn’t work the last time was because W, the Wonder Boy, wasn’t conservative ENOUGH! If only he’d been MORE conservative it would have been heaven, here on earth.
misjustice on November 04 at 2:12 p.m.
Mr. Natch; Lol!
Already, they are getting ready to impeach President Barack Hussein Obama.
“Thirty-five percent of Republicans said that they would support impeaching Obama for his actions so far, though there is no indication of what specific “actions” they think could potentially merit impeachment.”

The charge of the right brigade will be lead by Darrell Issa (R-CA), the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
jddavis on November 04 at 2:38 p.m.
bdr—the GOP could stop the funding of Obama Care by not approving the budget in the House…whether or not there is 60 votes against it in the Senate.
jddavis on November 04 at 2:45 p.m.
@ MisJ—impeachment talk is just that. After President Clinton was impeached, idiots on both sides of the political spectrum somehow think that if enough people don’t like the President (whom ever that may be), then they could impeach them.
I am not a supporter of President Obama, however, those who are talking impeachment should provide details on how he has met the criteria to be impeached.
hawken on November 04 at 3:00 p.m.
Imagine, for just a moment…. if you can…
1- Two groups of high school freshmen…. let’s say… 50 on the right…. 10 on the left…
2- The 10 on left just got their butts kicked by the 50 on the right… Like never before in over 100 yrs. Metaphorically, of course.
3- Now, in your minds eye,,,, can you imagine,,, the 10 on the left bloodied, battered, noses bleeding, shirts torn and tattered, bandages around their foreheads, some arms in a sling made of blood stained t-shirts, others limping on a crutch… These 10 have pulled back a bit, but are still slinging insults and sneering at the 50.
4- Meanwhile, the 50, with only a few scrapes, scratches and bumps,,, are cheering in victory.
5- Now,,,, swing back to the battered 10 with your camera….
Suddenly! You see this tiny,,, little,,, kindergartner, less than three feet tall, stick her head through the bloodied knees of the 10, all of whom stand 5 to 6 ft. tall, shaking her fist in rage! Shouting to one in the 50 she knows by name!
“Hawken. Let’s see what you’ve got!”
Someone, among the other 10, whom have really been battered, bloodied and bruised, in the fight,,,, needs to tell…. this tiny,,,, little,,,, kindergarten girl,,,, Diana….
Hey Diana!
“We just got our butts kicked, worse than anytime in the last 100 yrs of our republic..by a huge, superior number!”
But, Diana is never told!
Why???
Because the other 10 are standing, battered, bloodied and bruised,,,, some on crutches,,, refusing to acknowledge as well,,,,
“That we just got our butts kicked, worse than anytime in the last 100 yrs of our Republic.”
And poor little Diana…. she will never figure it out until one of the big kids, on the left explain it to her….
Poor, little Diana!
Metaphorically, of course…
MrNatural on November 04 at 3:10 p.m.
…my advice hawken…don’t drive until you come down.

He’s refreshed, after a happy ending and a nap!
@ jddavis; I think that Issa is going to try and use that dust up over Clinton asking Sestak (sp.?) to step aside during the primary in Pennsylvania. Not really sure how politickin’ is an impeachable offense but that is how I’m reading the smoke rings on the internets.
Scoutster on November 04 at 3:31 p.m.
They got nothin’ else.
bdr on November 04 at 3:34 p.m.
jddavis If the republicans stop funding the health package that would basically be pulling the hot pin from a nuclear device and not running away.
Let me remind all my hard of learning Republican short bus friends. (America is entering the gray stage) 8-16,000 people per day sign up for social security……(which my buds is also lopped into the budget with health care)
If the repukes decide to to rerun 1994 Gingrich shutdown of government that means >>>>80 MILLION<<<<<< people don’t get their social security checks.
FEEL FREE to do so repukes.
just plug your ears 2012 when the nuke goes off.
>>>>>>>>>>>BOOM<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
HEALTH CARE TAINT OVER.
Not until the fat lady’s dress is stained.
Shadedmuse on November 04 at 3:37 p.m.
the man that should of been impeached for war crimes and lies was not impeached, and yet republicans are obssesed with impeaching Obama because he beat them in an election when they ran a scorched earth kitchen sink campain against him. if Republican house tries to investigate or impeach Obama, then Obama needs to play his ace in the hole and have Eric Holder go after Bush-Cheney-Rummy on War Crimes either try him by DOJ or turn them over to the hague, either way he will send a message to republicans.
Rossi You lost now GO AWAY before you end up in federal prison for Election fraud.

Oh! Puulllleeeeeezzzz…Ren let the Republicans press the history eraser button!
Dazzeetrader11 on November 04 at 4:22 p.m.
BDR…no. The bill will be taken apart bit by bit because funding ( which must be approved by the House) will be erased to bring the economy in line. I told the leadership that those 5% who can’t fend for themselves MUST be funded…just must be. The other 90% will all be private with some controls put in. Obamacare is a goner. friends.
It wasn’t about healthcare….it was about a huge transfer of power and money to the government of Obama.
The nation will love the new plans.
Pubs are working on it as I type this.
Go Dino!!! We’ll know more by Friday.
One man, one vote you say? What if all those liberals in King County set the tone for the rest of the entire state which is very conservative. Think that’s a proper thing? And why does King CO love Murray? PORK..pure bribery. And the King CO ,etc liberals wont let their own prosperity change…they discuss it at their country clubs..limo libs.
E Wa better wake up.

johnclarke on November 04 at 6:43 p.m.
Hawken, you fail to calculate this. The Republicans have not reduced government or balanced a budget in 50 years. They have no specific ideas or plans, just moronic fearful attacks. I’ve asked you to produce evidence of Republicans actually governing in a “conservative” manner - and you come back with your rather odd lists and quotes. If you have ANY proof, by all means, share it with us poor liberals.
jddavis on November 04 at 7:25 p.m.
@MisJ—I think you may be right about Issa; however, if election “interference” is what Clinton did with Sestak and it is illegal, then it should be looked into. If what he did was legal, then play on!
@bdr—There are a lot of people who want that pin pulled, that is why Democrats were tossed and Republicans won the House. As Daisy said, it isn’t just about Health Care…

John Clarke says the republicans have said they will “fix it all”. Clarke, show me your source for such a outlandish statement. I think, you inhaled. Seek help.

bdr on November 04 at 8:39 p.m.
Daisy sorry sweety: you said The bill will be taken apart bit by bit
NOPE its a LAW already……its not a bill anymore. To be altered buy funding it must be removed by a 2/3rds vote. in both houses.
all LAWS must be funded in the general budget, they must have at least basic operating funds. the CBO suggests.
underfunding or de-funding is considered removal without a vote and against the law.
The PREZ writes the budget and the OMB fact checks it.
the congress just has to pass it.
if it fails to pass the entire government shuts down.
there is no bit by bit……allowed.
