      <![CDATA[Are we really putting so much weight on a king 5 news poll? These are usually posted on their website and whoever sees it first (or hears about it first because they are a TV insider) can vote thousands of times... <br>
<br>
Additionally, Larry is leading everyone in fundraising, isn't that a more true indicator of who will win? I heard Dow is a womanizer, is that true?<br>

      <![CDATA[Hutchison has a demonstrable lack of political smarts, a dismal lack of logic skills, her dimwittedness and "stupid pretty girl" charm are liabilities, and she will be answering to departments full of democrats. She will be honoring liberal obligations to Places That Are Not Seattle (PTANS), nothing more.<br />
<br />
Oh, and as King County has constantly screwed over Seattle, residents here really have nothing to lose in this one and it may just be that we would relish putting a dullard like her into office to permanently screw up the GOP's chances in Western Washington and throw a little salt on that slug Reichert. And for every "OMG PILING ON DA WOMMUN" card the republiduds play, we'll play the Burner card.<br />
<br />
This will be fun!

As Hutchinson is identified as Republican by her foes she will automatically garner the 40% loyal GOP vote.<br>
She then only needs to build on her huge name recognition to squeeze another 11% from the remaining 60%.<br>
She only has to convince 1 of 6 non-GOP voters to support her to win.
