1. Shit. Good for her, but not so good for WA state politically n/t

2. Well, that hasn't stopped the Obama administration before, unfortuantely.

Just ask Arizona. Look what happened when their governor was stolen. Not that Brad Owen is as bad as Jan Brewer. But Dino Shit For Brains sure as Hell would be. :evilfrown:

3. If Dino becomes Guv, I think I'm gonna move!

4. I've heard Jay Inslee is interested in running

A friend told me they are making plans and waiting to see if Gregoire is going for a third term or moving on. I think there may be some worries by the party leaders that she may not win a third term and don't want to see the position go to the Repubs. I hope they aren't making the mistake to ship her off to that other WA and leave a conserva-dem in the holding spot with the belief that this will increase Owen's name recognition statewide and make him a better candidate against whatever the Repubs throw at us the next cycle.

I'm hoping we see her stay for the rest of her term. Then she can move on and we have a better shot at having a more Progressive candidate.

5. Jay Inslee would be fine
