Politics Cantwell’s Numbers
posted by on November 9 at 16:14 PM
Senior Senator Patty Murray has the rep for being our state’s popular one, while Cantwell is the ugly step sister or something.
Indeed, when Murray beat George Nethercutt in 2004 with nearly 55% (54.9 to 42.7) her star status was confirmed.
Well, holy fuck people, Cantwell is currently tracking at 57.5 to McGavick’s 39.3.
Granted: Scoop Jackson posted numbers like 82%, 71%, and 68% in 1970, ‘76, and ‘82 respectively. And Magnuson got 60% in ‘74. And Murray herself got 58% against Linda Smith in 1998. But man, while Cantwell was certainly supposed to win, did anybody seriously expect her to be closing in on an 18 plus point victroy?
Let's face it, GOP are just deadenders.
Ironic how unearned her landslide was. Mainstream voters' increasing disenchantment with the Iraq war fueled her success, yet Cantwell is an unapologetic supporter of that war. She's been given a mandate to do something she doesn't want to do.
STFU WF.
GOP discontent and a liberal movement to oust the GOP from control of Congress had a lot to do with her big win.
Yes. There was informed speculation that McGavick could break the Carlson barrier for fully-engaged major statewide races.
And Cantwell's margin should grow as KingCo grinds through its ballot backlog.
Yes. She's an amazing Senator and people know it.
Yeah, right. Let's just put it down - she pwned Alaskan Mike McGavick six ways to Sunday.
Period.
All else is commentary, signifying nothing.
America hates neocons. And their stupid wars for greed.
