Membranophonist’s Ramblings

My father has a theory as to why the Republicans didn’t win the gubernatorial election here in Washington: they, as Republicans tend to do, focused on minimizing the votes counted for their Democratic opponent rather than on maximizing those for their candidate. He discussed this theory with Republican Secretary of State Sam Reed, who agreed that the GOP made a big mistake pursuing the strategy that they did.

If the Republicans had scoured the counties they won (which was most of them) for votes for Dino “Damaged Goods” Rossi, they probably could have turned up enough to change the outcome, but they were dead set on lowering the vote total in heavily Democratic King County (which contains Seattle and many dirty America-hating liberals like myself).
