Rossi Takes Lead in WA

 The Washington Senate race is heating up once again and Republican Dino Rossi has pulled into a lead in three separate polls against incumbent Patty Murray. Murray has been in Washington for a long time and is one of the most liberal of the Democratic caucus. Rossi almost won the 2004 race for Governor but apparently only lost by less than 200 votes despite leading in the early recounts.

According to the newest Rasmussen poll, Rossi is up despite leading just several weeks ago. Rasmussen is the most accurate of the national pollsters and this appears to be worse news for Murray than it may appear.

Rossi (R): 49%
Murray * (D): 46%
Other/und: 5%
* Denotes incumbent

Rossi also appears to be pushing near 50%-- and worse for Murray, she is not getting the 50% to feel safe as an incumbent. The other and undecided numbers also appear to be helping Rossi. Undecided voters this late in the race tend to turn against the incumbent-- often at the ratio at 2:1. If this is the case, Rossi may be able to get to 52%. Of course, this is still a left-wing state and may have the country's worst Democrat, so let's not make a prediction for a while-- although Rossi was leading by 6% in one poll.

  1. Rossi is gonna need 51%. Anything close will result in a series of recounts, the final count of which will be showing Murray the winner, and that will then be certified as the correct and official count. That 2004 race was disgusting. Didn't they find that a whole ballot box of votes for Gregoire were bogus, but the judge ruled that it didn't make a difference? I'll have to look into it, but it smelled pretty bad from down here in Oregon.

  2. Look what happened in Minnesota in 2008.

  3. Great news, but we must keep pushing Rossi up.

  4. No doubt the Democrats have already stashed a few boxes full of votes for Murray which will magically appear during the recount. It is imperative that Rossi win by a landslide. Anything less and again the people's will is going to be brushed aside by the Seattle Democrat machine, aka Communists. Most of our state is conservative, save the bastion of liberal chicanery in Seattle. Too bad we couldn't make a last minute change to the ballots that would negate all the false ones that are stacked up in the back rooms and car trunks around Seattle.

  5. Last week it just became official in the State of Washington that felons in prison here cannot vote. Glad that’s settled. Unfortunately, apparently phantoms and homeless people can still register and vote early and often. Rossi’s victory in the Governor’s race 6 years ago was taken away when ballots from heavily Democratic districts in King County kept showing up for each recount. They, of course stopped showing up exactly when the Democrats got their victory. They allowed these late-comer votes but denied ballots from the war zone that were on their way back home.
    We vote by mail here so that means ballots sent to nursing homes and elder care facilities will be gathered and voted without the recipients’ knowledge. With so much at stake in the Senate, Washington (and Nevada) will get huge numbers of “election workers” who will attempt to ensure a Democratic victory. We may not have Shabazz show up at our polling places but we will have many ex-Acorn operatives working full time to throw this election. Someone once said, “Of course they cheat. That’s why they’re Democrats!”
    To them, get-out-the-vote efforts don’t involve the human element, just the ballots. They feel they are justified in cheating because they believe they know better than the real people of this country. They believe that honesty and integrity are necessary casualties when it comes to keeping their most liberal politicians in place.
    As said before, the way we defeat them is by a super majority, a fraud proof margin. We are praying that it happens.

  6. If we could just for once have a 100% honest vote in WA state the conservatives would probably have a very comfortable victory. As it is, every imaginable form of corruption is expected and only a 10% lead will ice the victory.embee
