36. Doesn't it speak volumes to you that even as a poltically active person...
....that I can barely tell you anything about her? That's because she wasn't out there campaigning and selling her ideas to the public.

Why won't you factor that into your logic?

The ONLY thing I even remotely remember about her campaign is that she said she would bring 250000 new jobs to Washington (although she never really said how).

She was a candidate who got beat in a heavily democratic state by not running an effective campaign.

Why is that so difficult to accept? Because it was a close race?

The fact is that it shouldn't have even been a close race. She should have a ran away with it.

That's a fact. Her loss (and ours for that matter) can be directly attributed to the fact that she didn't really campaign very hard, particularly in Eastern Washington.

Yet you are defending her because, well, it was close and therefore she MUST have run a decent campaign. That logic doesn't hold true because she should have EASILY won this race.

So how did she lose? She lost because she FAILED to get her message to the people who she needed to vote for her.

And I am wrong to point that out?
