http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/0...-neck-and-neck-with-dino-rossi-in-washington/ I have a hard time thinking that Murray will lose. This is a deeply liberal state. Nonetheless, people are unhappy with the current direction of Congress.
I have a hard time thinking of Rossi in a "dead heat" without remembering how he "won" 2 elections against Gregoire before being overturned by the courts. Murray's "Housemom in Tennis Shoes" thing is 18 years old now. She's a repeat winner of Washingtonian (DC, not state) Magazine's staffers' poll of "No Rocket Scientist" award. http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/behindthecurtain/archives/004849.html King and Snohomish Counties are very liberal counties. Much of the state is red. And I know that governor =/= Senate race, but Gregoire is a much better candidate who'd done more for the state than Murray does/did, and Rossi almost won there. I think that it's "Dino vs. the (D)" in much of the Seattle area...which is why it's so close state-wide.
The real problem for Rossi is how many votes from people long deceased will Murray have. The WA dems and liberal court system are good for at least 3,000-5,000 fraudulent votes in a state wide election. He has his work cut out for him if he's to be elected.
