Aside from the depressing 2016 presidential election, there is another important election in our state- the election between Bill Bryant and Jay Inslee. Who will you be voting for?

I am voting for Bill Bryant. If Dino Rossi can almost get elected, then maybe Bill has a good chance.

Bryant does not stand a chance.

I have met Inslee, in his official capacity, the state of Washington does not stand a chance! It just goes to show how easy it is to get a law license. Wow....a U of W grad.

The latest poll is a couple of weeks old but it has Governor Inslee 10 points ahead.

I would normally vote Republican but I will not vote for Bryant because he does not support Donald Trump. Maybe I'll vote Inslee as a protest, he's going to win anyway. Or maybe I'll vote 3rd party if it's on the ballot.

why vote?, if you are in a minority or rural county, you may not even have heard there is an WA GOV election. I haven't heard anything. Guess I should open my ballot. After 'Whats-her-face' won using deceased voters (including my dad) there is really no hope / reason for a legitimate person to run for WA GOV. Ain't gonna happen on the Dem's watch.

Eventually the country / state will fall enough into debt / disrepair that there will be a change in politics.
Back to a Volunteer service electorate and NO allowed campaign spending by incumbents would be a good start. Incumbents have a voting record. study it and decide (novel idea...an informed electorate and accountable politicians) THAT, will never happen

No need to vote, except locally if you are in any of the 36 counties that are the minority, the 3 will always rule, and the 36 will try to remain in business and provide commerce, jobs, and food to feed the 3.

It still can't hurt to vote. Its the "defeated" mindsets like these that make the ideal candidates lose.

in 33 yrs of no representation, I have never missed a WA election yet, nor will I. (Since I pay $$,$$$ in annual WA taxes)

but... it is not gonna make a difference for GOV. (or WA initiatives that will continue to HARM my businesses)
the 3 will always rule, and the 36 will try to remain in business and provide commerce, jobs, and food to feed the 3.


Perfect state to be an employEE and a renter !!! They create a lot of jobs, and they VOTE!

Meanwhile, time to file Quarterlies, Don't forget to do that BEFORE you vote! It will certainly adjust your choices!

Ours came yesterday. City hall has a big depository so we can vote now and drop them off.
