WA-10: Odds favor Strickand in D vs. D matchup

WA-10 (Safe D: Lean Strickland): Two Democrats, former Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland and state Rep. Beth Doglio, advanced from the top-two primary for Washington's 10th Congressional District, but it's Strickland who looks like the early favorite in the general election.

Strickland led Doglio 20-15 in the first round of voting, and she soon picked up an endorsement from former state Rep. Kristine Reeves, who took third with 13%. While Doglio has campaigned as a progressive, Strickland, a former head of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, has a reputation as more of a moderate. That should make her an easier sell to Republican voters who don’t have a candidate of their own.

One-party general elections can be unpredictable since party affiliation isn’t a factor, and a Doglio victory is very possible this fall, especially since we haven't yet seen any polling. Still, for the moment at least, Strickland appears to be the frontrunner.
