...Dino Rossi.
No truly profound turn of events, but interesting and unexpected nonetheless (h/t: Tom Forbes). Their headline for the endorsement:
"It's the economy, stupid: Vote for Dino Rossi."

''It's the economy, stupid'' applies 2 the race 4 Gov REGARDLESS of the direction the economy takes in the next year or 2:
If Gregoire stays in (shudder) and the economy recovers faster than expected, look for yet another massive binge of big-government spending and regulating; building on the 33 percent spending increase in her 1st term. OTOH, if the economy continues to tank you can bet that the current Gov will be unable to stand up to her State employee and big-labor constituents; and she will set a new record for (again) forgetting her ''this is no time to raise taxes'' comments.
SUMMARY: If anybody you know has not sent in their ballot marked for Dino Rossi yet, this is the time to lean on them.... HARD.

Wonder how things changed so much?
