CQ Politics: Murray Likely to Prevail in Washington

Murray Likely to Prevail in Washington

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) leads challenger Dino Rossi (R) by about one percent, "but the electoral math seemed to favor the three-term incumbent," the Seattle Times reports.

The reason: "She captured 62% of the votes counted Tuesday night in King County. It's estimated nearly 350,000 additional votes remain to be counted there -- more than a third of the total uncounted votes statewide."

Nate Silver: "An extrapolation of county-by-county results would have Ms. Murray eventually winning by about 1.5 points; she leads by 1 point now."

3. Thanks for the update

I expected her to win but you never know. Dinno Rossi is such a loser and I mean that literally. The GOP has run this clown at least three times since I have lived in the state. He just does not get it that he will never win. I'm hoping that this is the last time we see him but somehow I doubt it.
