Still, considering this is a strong Democratic state, he should be further ahead.

I know many who will vote for Inslee, but it's disppointing to see those who won't vote for him or Obama. All of the conservative religious people will vote GOP no matter who is on the ballot.

COSTCO headquarters is in a GOP area and Medina is conservative, too. The Inslee campaign is supported by unions. But I know some union people who vote GOP. You'd be surprised or disgusted. Take your pick on that one.

should win, Washington can look forward to the same Voter ID laws that other republican governors have pushed through their legislatures. Their avowed goal is to disenfranchise every Democratic, progressive, liberal voter of whatever stripe, young, old, union, poor, etc. Wasn't it Karl Rove who said he favored a one-party system?

He really needs to get the ads going and the signs out. McKenna's name is everywhere.
I am signed up for phone calls.

Seattle Times has their agenda and it is not Inslee.

He's sort of anti-charismatic. He's not going to win voters through personal charm. He's going to need a good ground game.
