BRAD OWEN WILL RUIN US!!!
Sweet Christ! This means she would leave our state, right? Can she take Nickels, too?
A source in Whatcom County just confirmed to the Bellingham Herald that Gregoire took the same flight he was on to Washington, D.C.
Hopefully her last act will be to approve a bridge from Alki to Magnolia.
Maybe her replacement won’t gut the university budgets at a time when everyone wants to go back to school (fingers crossed).
wow — you guys and the bellingham herald are scooping the shit out of the two daily papers.
@1: It should be Governor Krist Novoselic! 🙁
@4 – Oh, come on! Deep bore tunnel!
Now she won’t have to deal with the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano!
And she probably has a LOT of Boeing stock that will come in handy.
@8: The city voted that down. If Ballard, Magnolia and West Seattle want a bypass so bad, let’s build a beautiful Golden Gate Bridge for them starting on Alki Beach and ending in Discovery Park.
Bwaahhahaahahahaaha
Gregoire with a cabinet post?
Bwhaahahaahahaahahahaahahahahha
Seriously yo? Commerce? What exactly does she have for experience for this most important post?
She is incredibly not qualified to be Commerce Secretary. Hell she dribbled the Sonics out of town, pissed the Viaduct down her leg, and squandered our state surplus…
Ohh wait.. she might have perfect credentials.
Nevermind.
What are her credentials again? This seems like it would be a clear case of rewarding early supporters and super delegates.
Seattle Times is saying she’s not there to get a job with Obama acc. WA state officials as quoted in the article.
So unless the Capitol’s lyin’, or the Seattle Times is lyin’ (both plausible), Gregoire will probably come back from D.C. with butter cookies or something.
She wouldn’t take a cabinet post so soon after re-election. It’s better to be a well known governor of a state than a forgettable commerce secretary — as Bill Richardson would agree.
maybe someone else from WA is being nominated and she’s there for the party.
Marc Ambinder says no.
I’m pretty sure that she’s actually going to be announced to be the new first dog.
@17
Let it be so
@6: If by scoop you mean wildly inaccurate speculation based on not a single fact (besides that she was on a plane), than yeah!!!
