True, he didn't get any strong challengers for any of the House races, but eh, I don't really think it's Chris' fault.
He got screwed in the 1st CD, he actually recruited a really strong candidate (King County Councilwoman Jane Hague) that dropped out really late, and this after he had asked Dr. Stark to step aside for her. That one really wasn't his fault, and I should have the right to bitch about it more then anybody, I live in that district. Truth of the matter is that we probably wouldn't have picked up any of them anyway, so I'm more interested in other races, where things are going well.
We have excellent candidates in the open congressional seats, good candidates in all the key legislative races, and great statewide candidates in Nethercutt, Rossi and McKenna. So overall, I'm happy.
We have excellent candidates in the open congressional seats
Reickert (sp?) looks very promising. After years of listening to overtly biased opinion from Dave Ross on KIRO, I'm salivating at the prospect of him facing a resounding defeat.
"We have excellent candidates in the open congressional seats, good candidates in all the key legislative races, and great statewide candidates in Nethercutt, Rossi and McKenna."
Don't forget state Rep. Cathy McMorris, who's running to succeed Nethercutt in the House.
If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Stark decided to run for the state legislature this year.
