6. WA went blue the past 5 elections...even voted for Dukakis

11. True, but Obama is doing better in WA than any of them. for instance,

Gore won Washington by a 6-point margin while Kerry won by a 7-point margin.

5. Only Obama and Ron Paul signs in Seattle metro area n/t

7. This should surprise no one but apparently is news to many in the MSM who

have ignorantly designated OR and WA as battleground states. Hahaha...

9. I've learned that when it comes to polls and political news, we are ahead of the "experts"

Perfect example is last night WOLF Blitzer asking Boxer if a popular Arnold could help McCain in CA. What he didnt know, and What I've known for months is that his approval rating has been in the dumps. Right now, he is approved by 37% and disapproved by 60%

8. Sweet!!

10. frankly, it's emabarassing that it's not larger.

but once you go east across the cascade curtain (or north or south of seattle/tacoma metro area), it gets mighty Ron Paul.

12. Not really considering that Gore won by 6-pts and Kerry by 7 in WA, I'd say Obama is doing very well
