Washington state's 'soccer mom' senator in fight of her career (Batty Murray is going down)
LA Times ^ | 10/27/10 | Kim Murphy

Reporting from Richland, Wash. — U.S. Sen. Patty Murray has been one of the nation's biggest advocates of federal spending to boost the foundering economy. Here at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, the country's worst atomic weapons contamination site, Murray scored $1.9 billion in stimulus funds to speed cleanup and add 1,500 high-paying jobs in south-central Washington.

But voters here have been ambivalent at best about all the money flowing in. During the primary, Murray trailed the local "tea party" candidate, who lost the GOP nomination to real estate investor and former legislator Dino Rossi. The Democratic incumbent now is waging the fight of her 18-year career against Rossi, fueled by conservative fears — even in the Hanford boom belt — that all the federal bacon comes with too much fat.

The Marxist in tennis shoes must be defeated. She is a loathsome woman.

“Sen. Patty Murray...told a group of high school students terrorist leader Osama bin Laden is popular in poor countries because he helped pay for schools, roads and even day care centers.”

The Murray campaign recently has featured a virtual Who's Who of the left: President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden (twice) and former President Bill Clinton have headlined rallies for the incumbent.

"Panic is the word that comes to mind," state GOP Chairman Luke Esser told reporters recently. "Obviously, if they didn't think that Patty Murray was in deep, deep trouble, we wouldn't be seeing this parade of celebrities."

On the other hand, it can be argued that the Osama Mama thinks she has it in the bag, or she wouldn't be caught dead with the Wee Wee, the Wookie, Hair Plugs and Bubba.

Man, I hope you're right. I SO hope you're right.

However, I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

King County Elections Department. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. AKA "Election Fraud R Us"

And take a look at what's already happened in Franklin County...some absentee ballots have "gone missing". Any bets WHEN they're gonna turn up?

Republicans question missing Franklin Co. ballots

I’ve noticed the Seattle media has grown stone-cold quite on the Murray vs. Rossi poll numbers since their debate on the 15th in which Rossi kicked her patootee.

Yep. A sure sign the right is doing well is when you don’t see polls being touted on the front pages daily.
