It is misleading to suggest Washington voters go to the polls on a particular date for the primary since all but one county will be voting entirely by mail and even Pierce County that will operate some polling places on 8/17 has over 70% mail voting. Like many Washington voters, I received my primary ballot last week and have already returned it.
and the media is going to jump all over it. At least people with a brain will scoff like they should, never going to happen. And they’ll probably still call MO some big swing state, but it has a distinctive conservative Southern tinge and it didnt even swing for Obama.
We can’t leave out Washington’s hand picked, gospel singing, farm subsidy taking, Democratic Primary voting, farming/agro-magnate candidate- Stephen Fincher.
This race is really down to Fincher and Kirkland. The only question is whether Kirkland has the momentum to overtake Fincher, who was/is the front-runner. Flinn is just playing the spoiler, even after spending nearly 3 million out of his own pocket.
What are the previous versions?
