7. In the unlikely event that McLoon manages to steal this election

Cascadian secession might be the only viable option left.

6. I'm cautious

of all state GE polls this far out from November, but I have a very hard time believing that Oregon and Washington will be swing states in the fall. McCain would be wise to spend his resources elsewhere.

8. That's true. I think though all the GE polls up to now show Obama very competitive in OR and WA

and that's good. He's going to surprise a lot of people with how well he does in the west, I believe.

10. If Obama's best electability argument are two blue states, we are in trouble. n/t

[Robbins]

11. Remember

These 2 states were close In both 2000,and 2004.The electable debate Is over.Obama Is the nominee.
Also a strong showing by Obama can help defeat Gordon Smith In Oregon and help keep the Governorship
In Washington.

15. Gregoire is a solid administrator and a really lousy campaigner

There are more than a few politicians who are hundreds of times better at holding office than at campaigning, and this particular one has endorsed Obama. She knows she needs coattails.

13. I saw somewhere that Clinton would have turned WA red.
