      <![CDATA[It would be the height of irresponsibility and dereliction of duty for the Governor to abandon her post at this time of crisis in the state, and after having just been re-elected. It is frightening to consider the state in the hands of conservative, unaccomplished, and misguided anti-pot crusader, Lt. Governor Brad Owen.<br />
<br />
I can only hope that Gregoire is in D.C. to announce that Ron Sims is to be appointed to Commerce. <br />
<br />
If she does accept a cabinet position in the Obama Administration, I will again work hard for Ron Sims for Governor. He was my choice in 2004. Sims is a man of the people. I appreciate his authenticity and integrity.

Gregoire with a cabinet post?<br />

Bwhaahahaahahaahahahaahahahahha<br />
<br />
Seriously yo?  Commerce?  What exactly does she have for experience for this most important post?<br />
<br />
She is incredibly not qualified to be Commerce Secretary.  Hell she dribbled the Sonics out of town, pissed the Viaduct down her leg, and squandered our state surplus...<br />
<br />
Ohh wait.. she might have perfect credentials.<br />
<br />
Nevermind.
