There's a poll up at KIROTV.com. Currently the two candidates are in a dead heat, with Hutchison leading 465-460. I just hope the actual election isn't that close. The last thing we need here is another recount.
Posted by MarkGriswold at October 26, 2009 07:48 AM | Email ThisSusie Hutchinson is a bible thumping, right wing wacko who doesn't have the administrative experience to run a bicycle shop, much less King County.
There won't be no recount. Constantine will win easily.
And I did write that comment @#3.
The reason I like Rush and listen to his show is because I feel he has done more polarize the right wing and alienate them from the independent voter than virtually anyone one else in the media. And that is a good thing.
When most folks think of Rush Limbaugh, and that he might be calling the shots in the Republican Party, they turn away in droves.
I also listen very closely to see if any of his screeds make even the slightest bit of sense. It's really quite gratifying to realize they seldom do. He is usually simply projecting his own character flaws and bad manners onto his ideological opponents.
It's worked quite well for him over the years. It has made him a multi-millionaire many times over. It has also driven the current Republican Party into approval ratings lower than George W Bush's during his final year in office.
Go Rush!
Meanwhile, the rest of us move carefully away.
Hutchison is the correct choice to move King County out of the sewer of corruption and back to where it was before the liberal elites controlled the county. One party rule invariably corrupts and diminishes trust, which Dow is part of.
PS I don't listen to Limbaugh.

It's time for a change !!!

Posted by: jimg on October 27, 2009 10:08 AMShe has no county government experience? Well all that "experience" that Dow has been giving us for years sure helped didn't it? Helped put us in a huge budget hole you mean. She has enough executive experience to run King County properly and that's what counts. King County isn't THAT big and complex. And the biggest bonus is that she's not beholden to the public employee unions who are collapsing budgets all over the nation.
Posted by: G Jiggy on October 27, 2009 04:14 PMSuppose she was a Muslim? Would they be attacking what they perceive as her religious beliefs? Would they call her a Koran thumper?
Of course these hypocrites wouldn't. No more than they challenge Muslims for how they treat women. Liberals are gutless cowards and really pathetic people. As I say, it's why they are on the left.
The only religion they routinely attack is Christianity because they view it as a threat to their dreams of a socialist society. They do it over and over and over. Watch them attack Christmas once again this year. What awful people.
Is it any wonder at all that Constantine constantly has played the abortion card?
Posted by: Bill Cruchon on October 27, 2009 05:23 PMIt seems that the leftist buzz words are always drug out when the going gets tough. The call to arms: "anti-abortion", "Christian", "pro life", etc., etc. We all here have heard them a zillion times. What exactly does somebody's religious belief have to do with running KC? Got one of Dow's over-sized mailers today and Hutchinson was pronounced not sufficiently green. No proof, just the scarlet letter is enough.
Yes, you are right. the left are despicable little asses.
Posted by: G Jiggy on October 27, 2009 05:50 PMThe left is simply a collection of horribly miserable people. I'm convinced. Lawyers such as Constantine,(why are the Democrats almost always lawyers)? Jerks such as Nickels who frightened children at Christmas about "global warming".
They are "Radical Women" and "Raging Grannies" and those little bicycle jerks that block traffic downtown at the end of every month.
Dreadfully unpleasant people. That's why they end up on the left. They love to tell us what to think, and how to live our lives. It's what makes them happy. Why can't they just come home and have a martini?
No, they have to be in our faces every day. I am so sick of them.
Dino Rossi
Mike McGavick
Or other Libopublican starting off gangbusters and then succumbing in flames to the overwhelming army of Seattle Libs + the vote enhancing processes of Gregoire.
Posted by: Blue Swan on October 27, 2009 06:34 PMSorry Bill. I would be equally uncomfortable with an Islamic fundamentalist in office. Both are an anathema to human progress.
By the way Bill, you might try reading your Bible sometime. Check out the New Testament. Those early Christians lived in a manner that was about as close as you can come to pure communism.
On second thought, never mind. You wouldn't understand pure communism any better than you understand the Bible.

Posted by: Rush Limbaugh Fan on October 27, 2009 07:44 PMAnd Jarvis, you'd have a point except that the people who usually double vote in this county are usually Democrats (plus they're all dead or in prison so probably not the kind of folks responding to KIROTV.com polls).
Posted by: Mark Griswold on October 28, 2009 10:42 PMIt's good to know you can appreciate a little irony. Most Republicans are simply blind to it these days. I suspect it's from all the teeth missing in their mental gears after the clutchless shift of supporting idiots like Bush and Cheney on the grounds that "well, they are our duly elected leaders" to the Obama Derangement Syndrome they all now possess.
Also, I'm glad somebody gets to read my screed. It would really hurt my feelings to think that it went unnoticed. But ya' know what? I'd be surprised if Bill and Jiggy haven't been back at one point or another during the intervening 40 hours to take a peek and see if anyone responded to their comments.
I'll bet I can find some comments they posted on other threads in that same period. So maybe they really don't have such pressingly active lives.
Any takers?
And finally, I'd be interested to see your data on "all the double voters in the country being Democrats." I seem to recall that during Dino's little suit over there in Chelan County, it came out that there were some double voting Republicans too. Or has that gear been stripped so clean from the painful experience of the last election that you don't remember it either?
Cheers.
