My choices are:
- Christine Gregoire (Prefers Democratic Party)
- Dino Rossi (Prefers G.O.P. Party)
The race is a lot closer than it should be. Christine Gregoire has been a pretty good governor. She’s been hard-nosed in a few cases, particularly with the viaduct and belatedly with making Plan B available. She tends to work behind the scenes and not step in to issues until a consensus or an impasse has developed, and I’d prefer a governor who was more out front on issues.
Dino Rossi on the other hand has done nothing for 4 years since his last run for governor except make speeches designed to keep him viable for governor. His Forward Washington Foundation is a travesty of a charitable organization. His transportation plan somehow can build an 8 lane 520 for 2 billion less than the current 6 lane plan. He’d veto any marriage equality legislation. He’s anti-choice.
Plus, he doesn’t have the balls to run as a Republican. He has to label his preference as G.O.P. Party
. Slick, and redundant.
The clear choice is Christine Gregoire.
