Eastern Wa is very red and I don't have to remind you how close our Governor's race was. Patty Murray did well early on over in Eastern Wa when she first started her career, (the Senator in Tennis Shoes was her nickname if memory serves). I have no evidence outside of anecdotal but I hear that she is well loved by the Army Corps of Engineers...(all our dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, the land reclamation projects and all that water for irrigation-THOSE Army Corps of Engineers).

I understand the notion that a VP is selected because he will enhance the Presidential hopeful's chances of getting elected but in this case, I feel that Senator Obama will win by a landslide ANYWAY. I believe he is in a unique position where he can pick whoever he wants for VP without the need to find someone to increase his electability. IMO he can choose the best person to 'get-'er-done' when it comes to repairing the damage to our nation that bushco caused these past eight years. IMO Senator Murray is a pretty good choice here.
