2. The media would know this if they didn't obsess over every single 45 voter in red states.

3. I o linger remember the districts in Washington

4. In very red Spokane, the Rep incumbent is only 1% ahead of Democrat Lisa Brown.

They'll be battling it out again in November.

And in Dave Reichert's district, the combined votes of the three Democrats in the primary are greater than the combined votes for Dino Rossi and other Republicans.

Senator Maria Cantwell, whom some out-of-state DUers love to disparage, got 55% of the vote (and our primaries include members of all parties on the ballot). The Repub who will go on to the general got only 23% -- and she's a former newscaster, so she's well known.

It was a great night for Dems in WA.

6. There were 29 names on that ballot...

I was a little worried that the Dem vote might get diluted, but we stepped up for Maria. Between her and Patty Murray I feel I have two strong advocates for my VA needs among other things.

8. They have both been doing an excellent job for our state. I'm glad you also feel

they have been strong advocates for the VA.

7. I hope McMorris Rodgers goes down in flames

I saw some of her vile ads...someone on Twitter said it was the 'Willie Horton' strategy revived. I'd agree

10. Yayyyy!!

5. WA03 is SW, near Vancouver/Portland area...

In WA08, 05, 03 I believe that the Dems combined collected over 50% of the votes. Repubs were top vote getters, but only polled in the 40's.

I hope we can flip at least 2 of those seats.



05 is Eastern WA and has been red for a while, but contains Spokane (one of larger cities in state) and Pullman (college town).

08 is central and includes a lot of Trump country, but big population centers around Auburn and Wenatchee. Never been blue BTW. It's about time.

9. Thank you for taking the time to post that map.

I am hoping the e. Wash. contingent is realizing how Trump is hurting agriculture.
I read the cherry growers were having marketing problems because of him.
