Comments on Lies and Damn Lies (Gregoire and Transit Edition)
Some people simply like saying "no."

I really hope that Sound Transit's proposal passes and I am so tired of all these people who only think short-term and not long-term.
The argument that it takes to long is laughable considering the scale and complexity of such a project.
Obama elected
Gregoire re-elected
CA Prop 8 Defeated
Sound Transit 1 passed
60 seat majority in Senate
That's what I want for Christmas, in order of importance to me.....
Well, Erica-- you said this one would pass so I believe you! :)
You promised it would pass, so there's no reason to get worried. I'll cast my ballot knowing your justified flip-flop from a well-reasoned "no" to a well-reasoned "yes" made this all possible!
Thank you for all your help, Erica! :D
Margin of error for that sample size is 8-9%. http://americanresearchgroup.com/moe.html
If I-985 passes, Prop 1 fails, and/or Rossi wins, it will be a very very bittersweet election.
My predictions so far this election year have sucked, so take this for what it's worth...
I predict transit will get voted down. Not so much because people hate transit, but because people are freaking out about the economy. My guess is that all of the ballot measures asking for money (transit, Pike Place Market, Parks, etc) will struggle; a lot of people will simply vote no on anything that will raise their taxes this year, no matter how worthy the cause. I suspect transit (as well as the others) would have a better chance of passing if people weren't freaking over the fear of the Great Depression II.
#4. Ditto for me, with an added White Christmas for good measure. :D
