Be sure to check out this must-read article in the New York Times, the highlights of which are as follows:
a) Our down vote on I-912 is being understood as a nationwide trend toward rejection of dumb tax cuts.
b) Christine Gregoire cedes responsibility for this vote to a couple of rock slides (yeah, no thanks to you, Ms. Governor).
and c) The article ends by noting that the urban archipelago did it. Not in so many words, but still.
