MoveRed has another video out, showing us what four more years of Christine Gregoire would look like.
And don't forget last week's Christine, Christine, Christine video from yours truly. Maybe we should have a Christine Video of the Week!
Posted by pudge at June 03, 2008 01:06 PM | Email ThisI'd like to here her one more time tell us how important it is to save away some of the surplus instead of drastically increasing a budget that we can't cover down the road. Hoo-boy, that was a good one.
Posted by: pudge on June 3, 2008 02:14 PMNow that would get me excited about him.
Posted by: Andrew Brown on June 3, 2008 02:37 PMRossi has given a bunch of specifics, and each week or so he's coming out with more.
However, let's be fair here: there are a lot of problems, and he can't come up with a solution to everything now. Let's look at his own history: when he went in to balance the budget, he didn't say specifically how he was going to do it. He said what he WOULDN'T touch, in some cases, and he said he would balance the budget. And he did it.
I like specifics as much as the next guy, but Rossi has already proven that he can go in without too many specifics and get the job done.

"Amateurish"? That's exactly what we've had for the last three decades from tax-and-spend, Democrat-dominated state government. Send them home for good in November!
Posted by: Saltherring on June 3, 2008 03:58 PMGregoire spent us from a 1.6 Billion dollar surplus into a 2.5 and rising Billion dollar Defecit. This even after raising every tax and fee in theis state, as well as stepping all over the 30 Tabs we 3 times demanded, the 60% taxing demand we made, and the list goes on and on.
Without solving anything except her 18% salary and pension hike and the massive salary increases to her top folks.
--------------------------------------------------
Rossi Balanced the budget in a recession, without raising taxes.
End of story,
I don't need to see what Gregoire will do, I know what she will do, and I know what Rossi will do
I'm and the 4 family members are voting for Rossi!

could make for an interesting spin at the local level as the Dems are charging Bush with the same thing.
Posted by: Ron K on June 3, 2008 05:04 PMGregoire raised taxes, increased the budget by 33 percent, and gave us a deficit.
Rossi balanced the budget without raising taxes.
Granted, Rossi didn't govern for four years, he was merely the Senate budget chair for a session. But he did his job when he was there, and Gregoire is governor now and she is not doing her job. In fact, by increasing the budget to an unsustainable level, she did precisely what she -- and every other person with a brain -- said we SHOULDN'T do.
Criticize Rossi all you like for what he DIDN'T do because he never had the opportunity, but Gregoire HAS had the opportunity and not only didn't do it, but actually made it worse.
Posted by: pudge on June 3, 2008 06:10 PMIf Rossi isn't elected and seated in the governors mansion this time, imagine the scenario of a Jimmy Carter clone in the white house and Christine Quagmire in Olympia for the next 4 years....Never too early to start stuffing money in your mattress.
Posted by: Rick D. on June 3, 2008 07:21 PMThe uber-left appears to be out in full force this cycle, but perhaps there is always hope for sorely needed reform (not change) for Rossi.
