Oh. My. God.
I just saw a Rossi ad featuring a "mother" talking about how under Gregoire we "lost" 1300 sex offenders.


"GREGOIRE WILL LET YOUR KIDS GET RAPED!!!"


Seriously, what the hell is with Rossi?

1. 'What the hell is with Rossi?"
Well, for starters, he's a classless, integrity-challenged Republican.

3. True that... Dear God, the people of this state better not let me down this election..
Although, since I live in Olympia, I fully intend to picket the Governor's mansion if that worthless little prick does manage to steal this election, as often as I can..

7. I think you meant to say
Even compared to other Republicans -- excuse me, members of the GOP Party -- Rossi is classess and integrity-challenged.

The way you put it was a bit redundant. :hi:

4. I'm terrified he's gonna slip in
It was decided by a hair last go around and Gregoire isn't as popular as she deserves to be. The smears, between letting pedophiles run free and forgoing Indian Gambling income may turn many away from marking their boxes for her. I'm hoping that a huge Obama vote will turn things Christines way and Rossi will go back under that rock where he belongs.

5. I definetly like a new ad slamming him on his BIAW ties.
But those ones about Indian Gambling (one at least) are vaguely racist, and this... well, as much as I ought not to believe this I can't help but hope voters will be turned off by it.

6. I am seeing so many nasty, ugly Rossi ads.
He seems to have more ads on TV than Gregoire.

Frankly, I am more worried about the Gregoire/Rossi race than I am about the Obama/McCain race. After what happened in '04, I don't know how this will turn out.

I had to talk a lot of my friends out of voting for Rossi last time, because they had bought into Rossi's lying spin.

If he is elected, I think things will look mighty ugly for us.

8. Dino his last defeat very personal, and will DO ANYTHING to win this time.
Notice how he won't identify himself as a "Republican?" Nope, he's GOP.

11. Same here, this time around!
It is frightening to say the least! I can't believe he is getting to them, and some of these are people who are otherwise knowledgeable..but I find that some are more into world news than local so can debunk Mccain spin but not Rossi. bad bad sign. I really dislike canvassing, and myself don't like unannounced visitors, but that's supposed to be the best way to have an effect so maybe I will bite the bullet this weekend. anyone want to join me?

9. Pretty sure this was an unaffiliated ad
Saw it too - wasn't actually endorsed by him. But yeah it's awful.

10. It's actually produced by the Repuke Governors Association
But his own ads are full of lies and distortions as well.

The Repuke Governors are desperate to steal Washington. They have been trying to take over this state for years, which is why you have far right hate groups like the "Discovery Institute" and the "Evergreen Freedom Foundation" (which hates both trees and freedom) popping up around here.

Also, the Repukes want to gerrymander this state so they can pick up some Congressional seats, that they would never win in an actual election. (Thom Hartmann was just talking about this)

13. Well, current polls put it at Gregoire +6.
Let's hope it stays that way for another week, it is so very important to keep Rossi out of Olympia.


He will not stop there if he ever gets there.
