This is why it was wrong to vote for letting county council elections be non-partisan last fall. Everyone thought, "This measure is great because it's best not to be partisan so politicians can work together and get things done." All that measure really did was create a way to get stealth Republicans onto the council. (I know Hutchison is running for County Executive, but same idea.)

Last fall, all the Republican campaign material used "GOP" instead of "Republican" to distance candidates from the Republican brand. Now, they don't even have to state an affiliation at all. Prepare for a more conservative county government because people won't know who they're really voting for. Hutchison is setting the example on how to do it.

Attn Stranger Staff --

Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it: Paint Susan as King County's answer to Sarah Palin.

Discuss.

Sorry @6, but I think Hutchinson already has the "Ellen Craswell - Lite" pigeonhole secured.

Nobody likes these activist America-hating evolution-denying science-avoiding Talibangelists like Susan H is.

@7 -- But according to polls we've seen on Slog, Hutchison is leading with a plurality.

"She's a Republican" isn't as big a slur as librul navel-gazers would hope. A Hutchison-as-Palin meme might get some traction, largely because there's a pretty big basis for comparison.

Dom.
You are such a Jackass.
You assert that Hutchinson's lack of support for gay marriage proves she is a Republican.
That assertion requires one to make sweeping and demonstrably wrong conclusions about Democrats, Republicans, and supporters and opponents of gay marriage.
People who make sweeping and demonstrably wrong conclusions about broad classes of people are ignorant bigoted assholes.
Ignorant bigoted assholes produce really shitty journalism, especially political journalism.

Is Barack Obama a Republican?

Slog doesn't get that either.
A Republican will have a lock on 40% of the vote right out of the gate.
Then Hutchinson only has to use her greater name recognition to get 11% of the remaining 60%.
In a crowded field that won't be hard.
Slog keeps beating the "Hutchinson is a Republican" drum like they think once they prove it she will have to slink away in disgrace.

NEWSFLASH-
EVERYONE KNOWS SHE IS A REPUBLICAN.

No one except Slog cares.

Yeah.
Susan is a Republican.
But this is a non-partisan race.
So she says, technically correctly, that she is not running as a Republican.

wink wink

Everyone gets the game.
It is how grownups communicate.
Slog doesn't get it.

Which is why and how Dan gets his heart broken by Obama, pretty much every week.
And pitches a new terrible-twos tantrum, pretty much every week.
The "wink wink" goes right over Slogs head.
Obama needs to learn how to talk to two year olds.

To keep Dan happy.

@2 - that's an insult to yeast-infected cunts everywhere.

It's a primary. Polls are based on the pre-2008 model of mostly old people voting in person at the polls, so they phone people on land lines and only include perfect voters 4/4 and maybe 2/3rds of the 3/4 almost perfect voters. The age bias is median 55 yo.

Which, in 2009, means absolutely nothing, cause most people have cell phones and we all get absentee ballots and only unpatriotic America-hating birthers would vote for a reactionary like Susan H.

"...the people who are moving away from gay marriage are bigots, Christian conservatives, and Republicans."

"I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." - Barack Obama

So which is Obama?

@16 - On the issue of gay marriage: Yes, Obama seems to be a bigot. From someone who is gay-married but also voted for Obama, if the man means what he says on this issue, he's a bigot. If he really does endorse gay marriage but just says he doesn't for political gain, then he's a liar and a coward. Either way, he sucks donkey ass on this issue.

Actually, Dominic, Washington's legislature has NOT passed "three domestic partnership bills, all with the explicit objective of eventually legalizing gay marriage in this state". If the explicit goal was marriage equality, they could have just passed marriage equality. This stage-ist strategy was concocted by the elites at ERW because there's one huge obstacle to full marriage equality that few lgbt rights supporters want to talk about: Washington's DOMA, passed by a Democratic-Party-controlled legislature and signed by a Democratic governor. The powers that be want us to believe that equal rights are granted from above by benevolent spirits of the Democratic Party as opposed to being the fruits of hard civil rights struggle on the ground. One question I hope some reporter in Washington poses (it could be you) is this: "what plans do the Democrats (or anybody) have for repealing the state's Defense of Marriage Act, the last hurdle for statewide equality and the end of this marriage apartheid?" We know that the people opposed to marriage equality are a SMALL minority (less than 35 percent of the total state). Doesn't majority rule in this state?

@ 18) Ed Murray and Jamie Pedersen, the sponsors of the domestic partnership bills, made their plan clear from the outset: Pass successive bills as a strategy to achieve full marriage equality. As the legislature has passed them, support for same-sex marriage has increased. But it's still not above 50 percent (37 percent as of last October, up seven points since two years prior). But don't expect a gay marriage bill to get much traction in the legislature until there's majority support among voters. If it were to pass before the public were ready, it would just be shot down via referendum. So you ask, "Doesn't majority rule in this state?" Yes, that's why we don't have a marriage equality law yet.

Actually @ 18: Gary Locke, who was our governor, vetoed Washington's DOMA. The legislature overturned it.

From the linked article: Washington passed DOMA in 1998, two years after the federal government passed such a law, defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The Legislature overrode a veto by then-Gov. Gary Locke.

So Lonnie, if you don't even know your facts, it's better for all if you just stop saying words.

God bless Gary Locke. Gays--and all voters who are not homophobes--should stay away from the very contentious Susan Hutchison. She should not forget that it was her would-be predecessor, Ron Sims, who essentially said "bring it on" to gay couples who wanted to challenge the state DOMA (and nearly got it overturned by the State Supreme Court). Can anyone imagine Hutchinson having that kind of courage and vision?
