Jeez, Peter, not a word about what any budget cutting will do to poor people? That's where they always go.

This paragraph below by Mr. Vance tells it all. Put another way, voters have finally discounted the soundbite. They got badly burned, and they want more. They want the truth. Eg smaller government means fewer services, and both parties need to remember that. "Present realistic, workable solutions. Democrats control everything, ...

I'm a little late to this Berger piece, but want to point out that the "atheists" aren't stupid at all. They wanted to offend. They wanted to turn the whole thing into a circus. And they succeeded. Why did they want a circus? So they could achieve their goal -- ...

So Cameron, if the Legislature in fact does send an initiative to the people seeking a tax increase, and the people approve one, then...what's the beef?

So what happened to all the Dinocrats that the media -- including Crosscut --bought hook line and sinker? Gregoire worked extremely hard to win a second term. Yes, Obama helped, but she did four years of intense retail politics all over Washington too. Take a look at her vote totals ...

Clark, what can I say. A story by Westneat out of Rossi's home base absolutely provides a strong foundation for your speculation. Nice work!

Clark, Of course Rossi/Obama voters are out there. Undoubtedly, there are probably Nader/Gregoire voters too, and any other combo you can name. The question is, are the numbers significant or just an idea talked up by Rossi? In other words, please cite a little more than your own, apparent gut ...

rossi biaw: So Crosscut, The BIAW-Rossi connection is a cheap shot? Wanna see a cheap shot? look at the tribal gaming issue. You guys are truly a disappointment.

Not a bad analysis: Pretty good analysis of the debate. I'm a Gregoire supporter, but have to agree that Rossi comes across as a guy you'd want to have a beer with. For the discerning viewer, though, I felt the governor did better. She spoke the obvious truth when she ...

Gregoire's opinion on the subject: Here's what Gregoire told the Daily Olympian a week or so ago about this issue. But Gregoire, like most Democrats Friday, said Palin's two years in the Alaskan statehouse and service as a mayor aren't enough for the vice presidency. She also took issue with ...

If he had nothing to hide: Rossi would disclose if he had nothing to hide. The presidential candidates do it, and it is done by gubernatorial candidates in many states. I don't buy that he stands on the idea that the law doesn't require it. He and his BIAW friends ...

process: What I can't stand about the new Seattle is that you, Knute, and too many just like you, find oh so much meaning in everything. Let's process and make grave, windy (always windy), and ponderous conclusions about anything that sneezes. Seattle sucks, and I never go there.

Flag Pin Stuff: This is almost as petty a subject as flag pins.

Missing the point: The column's important point was that studies are just one piece of a PR campaign. They offer the right answers, all cloaked in an academic air, and reporters eat it up almost everytime. Actually looking at the data and the whole framework of the study takes time, ...

No vision: Knute has no vision. Yes, the monorail cost was a serious problem, and yes, it would have cost us a lot more. But I for one would be willing to pay even $10 a day to use it. And I'm not rich. It would have been worth it. ...
