Might as well seal the deal on this race...Reichert has solidified his base and has plenty of crossover. I cant help but enjoy the flatullence being posted by Owngoalstein though!

Phooey on that! We already pay way MORE than our fair share!
Mind you, Reichert is not all that hot, either. But then, I couldn't reasonably expect anything else from a "Seattle Republican," which is to say, a spineless moderate.
But at least he's better than Burner.
