Election Post-Election Analysis Next Week

Will Republican Rob McKenna have conceded the governor's race by next week? Who knows. But on Wednesday, November 14, a panel of political types will discuss what happened in Election 2012. The annual panel is held at Hale's Ales Brewery and Pub (4301 Leary NW) and features know-it-alls to hypothesize about what legalized weed will look like, explain how marriage squeaked through, and answer any questions still lingering after the election.

Panelists include: travel writer and I-502 supporter Rick Steves, mastermind of Approve 74 Senator Ed Murray, not-endorsed-by-The Stranger Representative-Elect Gael Tarleton, Representative Reuven Carlyle, Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, and Stranger news editor Dominic Holden. Also at the event will be a participation-optional silent auction to benefit the campaign of Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles.

The real question is whether Gael Tarleton will kill Dominic with her bare hands.

It would be an oddity if McKenna wins.

The general trends this election seem to be:

1) Don't change horses.
2) More personal freedom and individualism.
3) Don't tax me. Unless you're a Californian.

Get Gael & Dominic in a mud-wrestling competition. Y'know, for charity. Or science. Whatever.

Ah...fixed. Though now my clever comment has been relegated into irrelevance... :( Change it back please!

November 14, not 1.

The one problem I find with Jeanne's annual review is that she has too many panelists. Plenty of interesting people, not nearly enough time for any of them to opine.
