I live in the State of Washington. I don’t see any prospect of Jim McDermott losing in Seattle, or Adam Smith or Denny Heck in their districts. Or Patty Murray or Maria Cantwell losing their seats in the Senate.
Liberals have been constrained by the State Constitution which puts a brake on corruption (but not idiocy). The voters just don’t hold our representatives responsible for national problems. And of course our conservative bright stars have been wiped out by endless recounts in King County.

I think the problem isn’t the strength of Wa Democrats, it’s the weak sauce the “moderate” GOP brings to the table every election. Why vote for a party that politely allows Democrats to define them?

[Seattle Conservative]

I’m in the Seattle burbs and I agree with you. I could be dreaming, but I’ve often thought that if a black conservative man or woman went door to door in the Central Seattle and South Seattle area talking 1:1 with people, we *might* have a chance of booting Bagdad Jim (I can’t stand him!). Perhaps just wishful dreaming on my part.

There are Pubbies and conservatives in the burbs and in Eastern WA, but as you know, Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia have a ton of libs and the largest population (similar to other areas of the country), and with the voting fraud we’ve had in Seattle (Gov Fraudoire), I don’t think we’ll ever have another Pubbie Gov or Senator (sorry to say).

I was a little surprised that Doc Hastings recently said he was retiring. I suspect his district will continue to go GOP, but not sure.

Best,
SC
