Outlook on politics and elections in the state of Washington from an overall centrist viewpoint. My views tend to be libertarian in nature, but at the same time are largely nonpartisan.
The Seattle Times reported at noon today that former Rep. Lloyd Meeds [D-Everett] has died of cancer at age 77. Meeds served the 2nd Congressional district from 1965 to 1979, defeating incumbent Republican Jack Westland in 1964 on the national Johnson Democratic landslide. Meeds spent his tenure in Congress a close ally of Sens. Scoop Jackson and Warren Magnuson.

I like to think that I'm a rarity in blogging, in that I'm a political nerd who doesn't have a partisan axe to grind in everything they write. I considered myself a Republican up until 2004 when I finally had enough of their bible-based politics, yet still harbour a deep dislike of the Democratic Party because of their ties to labour groups as well as their tendency to bloat budgets. Ideologically I'm somewhere between centrist and libertarian. On economics I fit neatly in the centre-right, while on social issues I can be fairly radical. And no, I'm not British. It's just that I can respect that they created our language and know how to write it properly.
