What is the latest in the Governor's race?

[Tigress DEM]

My sister lives in Washington (Spokane) and she has seen some attack ads aimed at the current Governor and I thought I could peek in the state forums and find a good answer about what are the real issues, but this may have been talked to death already and just not recently. Can you help me get her up to speed? I think she said her primary is in October.

Is there any real concern about the current Governor being able to do a good job going forward?

What has been said about her?

Has she done a good job and what are her strongest points?

Are there any other DEM contenders?

I did read Rossi can't tell a rethug from the back of an elephant.... I mean he thinks GOP will be less telling than Repugliscum... my sister really liked that one btw.

He's anti-union/anti worker according to voting record.


My sister won't vote rethug unless the DEM choice was a Lieberman and the rethug one who'd actually voted with their brains occasionally. She'd probably be looking for an Independent or Green before making such a rash choice, but she also has friends who she can lead down a better path occasionally if she has the facts.
