The reason Inslee is not "out and about" is because come this summer, late summer that is, he is going to come out and say that, "I have been doing my job in Congress, like I was elected to do, not campaigning for Governor, like I was not elected to do". It does not bother me at all that he is not out currently "stumping"...it's the end of March and the election is 7 months away! Most people that vote already have their minds made up who they are voting for, and most people that don't yet know who they are voting for probably have a less-than-7-month attention span, so it really doesn't matter if Jay Inslee gets his mug in the paper every other day being quoted saying things like, "I opposed the Irag War", and, "I'm for the working class!" My prediction is that the economy is going to continue to improve, (yes, incrementally), and by the time election day comes around, the republican jack-asses will have no hope for winning because all of their "theories" suck, and always have. The question come election day is, "What have you done for me lately?" And the answer is, as far as the Democratic Party is concerned is, "A whole lot"! You can now opt out of your bank running through charges so they can overdraft charge you ten times for buying a five-dollar coffee, women still have the right to do what they want with THEIR OWN BODIES, the environment will only slowly be destroyed instead of quickly (neato, eh?), and that one thing that is really most important to me...The Democrats killed that fucking prick bin laden and dumped his greasy ass in the sea! Inslee is on the right track, he's not going to get in a pissing match 7 months before an election with a narrow-minded coont.
