I'd stand up and cheer, but maaaan, dude, that's too much work right now.

Urquhart is not active duty. He retired.

Only one of them is telling the truth.

@2) Thanks, I clarified in the post that only Strachan is active duty.

Dominic ... who would you say made the better case for getting the job? in your non-binding personal opinion

While I'm glad Strachan has finally joined Urquhart in his support of I-502, that certainly wasn't the case in the beginning of the race. It's pretty obvious he's pining for the Stranger endorsement with his sudden change of heart.

I really wish these two would quit taking pot shots at each other and debate I-502.

I'll vote for the guy without the moral objection. If 502 passes, is Washington State prepared for the Feds to come in and shut it down? I hope they don't but California tried this and it's not working out so well. Thoughts? Anyone?

Californian here. Yeah, dispensaries still have to look out for feds, but it's still huge that you don't have to get arrested over a few joints.

That's all well and good, but this from the LA TImes today: "A Louisiana man has been released from death row, becoming the 300th prisoner nationwide to be freed after DNA evidence showed he was innocent." I'm more interested in Uruquart still supporting the death penalty. For that reason, Strachen may get my vote. THAT is a more courageous position coming from a cop.
