Surprising who, again? Still she did some awfully good stuff along with the meh, I'd suggest. Did a lousy job of blowing her own horn, of course - a fault the newer generation doesn't intend to make....

My favorite of her accomplishments is keeping Dino Rossi at bay. Can you imagine - he wouldn't have been mediocre, oh hell no, and certainly would have provided even better outrage-o-blog fodder here.

Don't worry, Governor McKenna is coming to the rescue.

She's a damn sight better than Gary Locke. Granted, that's pretty faint praise.

@2, Governor Inslee's not letting that happen, and two terms later Governor Constantine will be there to keep that door shut again...

Say what you want, still better than Rossi. Folks should quit their bitching.

Good when there was a lot of money to spend.

Bad when reductions are needed.

Unfortunately, the cusp straddled her term.

She's an excellent governor governing a shitty, whiny electorate who want government services without paying for them.
