Dow (and the rest of us) should have been saying exactly that about one month ago. Thankfully we didn't need it. But it would have been nice just in case we did. "THANK YOU PATTY" banners on bridges above I-5 and 405, now that would eat away at an enthusiasm gap for sure.

Dear Senator Murray,
Use your best judgment and keep up the good work! Rarely can I say to a politician, "I trust you to make the best decision," but these words are completely apropos for you.

Cordially,
Charles Y. Farley

What does Patty Murray owe King County?

Gee. I thought she was one of the 2 Senators for Washington State, not King County.

My mistake. I forgot, the only voters who get to determine policy for Washington are the voters in King, southern Snohomish and northern Pierce counties.

Here's an idea. King County can form its own state. Then the rest of the state can get electoral representation for the first time in 40 years. And Seattle can officially become the communist cell it has been dying to be for so long.

But there is a price. You folks have to keep Baghdad Jim and the 'Mom in Tennis shoes.' Sane people want nothing to do with either of them.

Had you voted for write-in candidate John Naubert,then you would get everything you wanted without asking--and then some (more goodies).

to number 5, go to the washington secretary of state website and look at how each county voted, with the exception of a few low population counties on the east side, all the counties were really close races so even a large number of people outside seattle voted to keep her. king county was the one that put her over the top so your argument doesn't hold up, it is still a majority vote.

#5, I think a lot of other people *ahem, Eastern Washington AKA Cascadia* have tried to do that in the past. Unfortunately, they soon realized that they had no tax base, and the people and corporate entities that did exist there had no interest in paying taxes at all. Hence, we are all still one big happy family, and there are still billboards complaining about "letting King County determine your election" on the yonder side of the pass.

Gotta love the hypocritical comment from Ostrom at reFUSE to grow up "lead the fight against the flood of secret money..." BS. The Dems just got their butts handed to them--I am sure they will figure out how to use the rules the R's just used against them. And, coming from a shill for every public employee tax sucking union that's kind of a laugh.

And why is Judy Hall some of Katherine Boyle-like celebrity? I am sure her cupcake business will fold for other reasons than health care costs. Can't wait to hear the whining about that--I am sure she will blame the tea party for that somehow...

@5: Sane?!? You certainly can't mean yourself if you voted for for 3-time loser, Dino Rossi! You must not be a veteran, a voter, a student, a taxpayer, nor a Washington State citizen who actually gives a crap about what's going on.

Why isn't anyone telling Murray to stop supporting the big banks? Hello people, she did not want to find the money hiding with the Federal Reserve and the charter for that org is up in 2013! People, these politicians are not listening with the run away banksters-she has been there too long but I know we really didn't have any good candidate choice.
