Benton County Auditor – WTF!!!!

There are still 25 thousand ballots in the WA-8th LD race to count and the Benton County Auditor hasn’t posted up results since 8pm last night.  WHAT ARE THEY HIDING!!!  I think Bobby Gagner should have a press conference.  Yes, that is exactly what she should do right now and tell us why!!!  You know [...]

Dino Rossi Concedes

Looks like I’ll never get on that Blueberry Commission. Dammit! I hope sometime during the next 4 years we can put some teeth into the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission laws.  The flagrent violations by the BIAW needs to be stopped.  Fines of 15k here and there after 500k worth of violations just encorages these [...]

Moser / Klippert Race tight with 25k ballots left to be reported in the 8th.

This is a pretty close race.  While Brad Klippert is already considering his “mandate”: Klippert viewed his narrow lead not only as a victory, but also a mandate to take the conservative ideology that formed the foundation of his campaign. The Army National Guard reservist and Benton County sheriff’s deputy campaigned on a socially and [...]

What a Night!

First of all, despite what I figured to be some groundbreaking gains in Central Washington it seems as so the nation goes, Eastern Washington runs the other way.  It’s a bit tragic in the sense that I feel we are being left behind in the past.  If anyone in this district who reads and thinks [...]

Election Predictions?

I’m not to big on predictions but I’ll kinda-sorta throw some out.  Throw out some of yer own in the comment thread.  At least you can be anonymous there you jerks… 8th LD Larry Haler will win big.  Rob Welch was arrested Sunday night over a family fight and his threatening suicide.  Even if he [...]

Wa. 8th LD Candidate Rob Welch Implodes – Arrested

I’m not sure what to make of this but legislative candidate Rob Welch was involved in a family arguement and was arrested last night after punching a glass pane and threatening suicide. I could probably be real snarky right now but I’ll take a pass.  I will say that I never found him to be [...]
