Has anyone found the free time to stop and donate to the ACLU via a small agreement that was had before the election? It would be a poor gesture to back out after the election....

We had an 81% turnout. I wonder if Rove still thinks he can still turn Oregon red.

Good luck getting them to pay up.

I know and the sad part is they only had to do $20, I was wagering $200 on my end cause I was that confident in Oregon and that state didn't let me down.

But boy would I laugh yet again at the ******* who told me, just before Bush won two terms, that Republicans "are a dying breed". I would love to see WA turn red for that!
Duh, duh, duh, I'm a *******,
I can't think, it is so hard,
But there is one fact, don't y'all know,
I'm smarter than three wolves in snow.

The Northwest is almost always a split - and it proves that contrary to public opinion - that it is mostly a conservative area.

Witness the Washington state governor races for the past three years.

Gregoire and Inslee barely won over Rossi and McKenna.

It is most definitely not "mostly a conservative area" in the modern national GOP sense of conservatism.

Yes, Republicans are competitive in the NW, but they're generally fairly moderate people, not the far right extremists that have taken over the national GOP. Look at McKenna - pro choice, pro civil unions, wants to equalize education spending and increase overall funding.

Occasionally, a far right guy runs for some office, and they get thoroughly defeated. See, for example, the anti-SS, anti-Medicare, anti-public education, anti-equality candidate Art Robinson, who got crushed by 20 points despite a massive ad campaign dedicated to getting him elected.
