Politics Foskett vs. Pedersen

A 43rd District voter wrestles with his choice for State Rep: The joke candidate? Or the douche?
I live in the 43rd legislative district in Washington State. It’s pretty much one of the most liberal districts in Washington. We always vote Democrat. We dont know any better. So here’s my problem: I don’t like the Democrat running. I think Jamie Pederson is a complete and total douchebag. Of course there is also the Stranger endorsed Hugh Foskett, the twenty year old joke Republican candidate who likes boozing, toking, and homoerotic activity. I don’t want to vote for Pederson, but I dont want to spoil my record by voting Republican.
There’s a lively debate in the comments thread on this post. So if you’re still torn between Pedersen and Foskett, checking out this post on My Mad Existence might help you make up your mind. I’m filling out my ballot right now… hm… Jamie or Hugh… Jamie or Hugh…
Write in BILL SHERMAN!
Hugh! Hugh! HUGH!
I'm going to write in one of the three gay men that Ed Murray originally recruited to run for the job, none of whom ended up running.
I voted for Linde Knighton.
Just write in Richard Kelley.
Yeah, write in whichever primary candidate you preferred over Pedersen. I wrote in Stephanie Pure.
Poor Linde Knighton...
It's time for the Savage-Pedersen summit. My mission, stated simply, is a mission for peace.
Your summit proposal, J, relies on the mistaken assumption that Pedersen deserves to breathe the same air as Savage.

Foskett will finish third.
None of your write-ins will be tallied, so there's no particular point in doing that. Just leave the line blank if you really can't bring yourself to vote for one of the three people on the ballot.
Maybe I haven't been reading the stranger or the SLOG as regularly as I should, but this Huge Foskette endorsment is a joke right? Sure, I'd do him, and its nice to see he doesn't mind a lil reefer, but how often do past actions translate into legislation? Almost never. (Not that Penderson should have been endorsed.)
Dan, are you REALLY going to vote for him?
P.S I don't even vote in your district, but yes, we do get the stranger at Evergreen.
I agree with Doug. I wrote in Bill Sherman.
And, ironically enough, this is none other than Johnny Devine, who got the infamous facial in Faeries on a Ferry.
Your summit proposal, J, relies on the mistaken assumption that anyone can get fake ID that remotely resembles Hugh Foskett.
Have there been any polls on this race? No, smartasses, not poles smoked, but POLLS? I wonder how Pedersen polls against Foskett and Knighton.
The last midterm in the 43rd is probably a good baseline. The only contested race saw the D, Senator Pat Thiba, get 79%, while Linde Knighton got 21% as a Green. There was no Republican candidate that year, or should I say that year either. I would attribute any difference this year to shenanigans promulgated by the Stranger. I predict Hugh will snap up about 3%, Linde 21% again, and Pederson will win in the usual landslide.
Fnarf's right.
seriously!?
Whoops morons! I guess he got a few more points than y'all thought. Loser Linde was the one who got 3%.
