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.
As suspected, GOP Senate candidate Mike McGavick's half-confession gaffe has completely stalled his campaign. Senator Maria Cantwell now leads 52-35, a six-point gain for the incumbent and a five-point drop for her main challenger. Given our late primary, it will take a miracle for McGavick to win at this point, as he is back down where he started a year ago in polling.

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.
