Washington Liquor Inititiative Passing

Unofficial results Tuesday night showed the measure with 60 percent support in early returns. Costco Wholesale Corp. had committed $22 million to supporting the measure — $6 for every registered voter — as executives portrayed the Issaquah-based company as a crusader for consumers and said that it could take years to make up the investment in the initiative/ Associated Press .

Question: Looks like all that Costco campaign money hit the spot, right?
