Out here in Washington State (the "other" Washington), we're pretty much used to being ignored by the national television networks and newspapers on a regular basis. Heck, local companies here like Sterling Savings Bank frequently riff on that theme in their advertising.

But there's a good reason for progressives to be excited about what happened in Washington State last night: We won... and we won BIG.

2. Indeed we are. I don't really know why though. I posted about R71 and the posts

just sink. Thanks for the kos article, x-posted in gd, see what happens there.

3. Love me some Dow!

Adios, Susan "King County's Very Own Sarah Palin" Hutchinson.

4. Really -- I hope that's the last we see of S.H. But I doubt it will be. n/t

5. This pretty much spikes any shot she has for governor or senator n/t

6. Nixon rose from a political grave. So did Reagan. So could Palin or Hutchinson.

But it certainly spikes Susan's chances for a run for Governor or Senator SOON. If she wants to do that, she'd be better off moving to Pierce County or Eastern Washington -- somewhere she could develop a base.
