Progressive to what end? Making sure the middle class rots to ensure the rich/poor class divide remains? Some progress.

Yeah, it's makes one proud to live in a state where only this can happen.

Oh and by the way, Washington is the #1 rated worst state to do business in. Even Boeing is leaving- at least a good part of it.

Oh, you mean like Fla. in 2000? Only, unlike Fa which had Bush co chair Kathleen Harris as Secretary of State, Wa's Secretary of State is a Republican, Sam Reed, who oversaw the recounts. So stop making things up.

You keep booming, but not only are we the site of Boeing's home office, we also have Microsoft.

Probably not for long, a lot of businesses are moving their headquarters to Sunbelt metropolises - Liberalism makes for poor industry climate, but allows the white-collar workforce to proliferate. This of course means we need Liberal and Conservative areas to maintain the balance..

Microsoft is crap by the way, Apple all the way!

That is why I own a MAC!

The Pacific North West is nice to visit but Dallas has almost has many people has all of Washington State is it is growing almost twice as fast. Their must be a reason.

Is always makes room for disaster when a single metro has half the states population. Their is nothing to balance out the political power of a single region. To think Eastern Washington complains about having no power.

No, Washington. What he posted about Gregoire's obvious theft of the election was dead-on, as you well know.

And then there's this....

Gregoire did not steal the election, only disgruntled Republicans continue to make that charge. Judge Bridges, in Chelan Co. ( a GOP stonghold) saw no reason to overturn the results of the third recount.

Anyway, this is old news, Rossi has the rematch he wanted this Nov. I think Gregoire will win a much easier victory this time. Then what will the Republicans complain about?

The THIRD recount. LOL

It's a police state. Run by Nickels, Sims, and the Queen.

Be proud.
