Dems' Odds of Holding State Senate Just Got Better

Comments

Kilmer's seat isn't open. It's not up until 2014, or if he resigns after winning the congressional seat, a special election would be held in Nov. 2013, following an appointment presumably sometime in January.

That's my district (Pflug's, that is). You can count on me!

I've noticed the 5th become more active over the last few years.

Hold your breath and vote for your ex-wife, Goldy.

@3:

He can't, Will. She's in the 41st, he lives in the 37th.

I don't think the Brown seat is really in play; Andy Billig has the name recognition, and Nancy McLaughlin hasn't done much in terms of fund raising.

@4 he could still move. I hear there's this thing called light rail ...

I'm pretty sure this isn't a good thing if you care about GMA.

add a very good shot at a D pick up in the 17th in SW WA- certainly far better than the R's shot in the 1st- and the chance of actually moving towards a more progressive Senate is in play.
