      <![CDATA[It would be hard for the GOP to go any lower in WA state than it was after the 2006 election. So yeah, they gain one seat in each. Big deal. Hardly bucking the national trend. They've been marginal for a few years in WA state, whereas in other places they were much more competitive until 2008.

      <![CDATA[Will is quite right that 2010 holds promise for Republicans after actually having a good recruitment year even with Obama kicking ass at the top of the ticket.  It all depends how Gregoire handles her budget problems, because if she stumbles she won't have Bush around to distract people.<br />
<br />
Looking at which Senate seats are up next cycle the only two potential Democratic pickups after sweeping 2006 are Pam Roach and Dale Brandland.  On the flip side, Republicans can target most of those seats they lost in 2006 but it will all depend on how permanent the Democratic dominance of the suburbs is if they can take back a few of those seats.

      <![CDATA[Seriously, we've had a Democratic majority in the state legislature AND the governor's office, and what do we have to show for it?  Mostly, just less harm than a Republican-controlled state would give us, but nobody gets excited to vote for someone who's merely "less bad" than the opposition.
