1. Washington really? Why is McKenna still in this race?

3. Massive advertising...

...including twelve days of free full-page ads in the Seattle Times.

And, no, he's not "still in it" -- he's making a huge comeback after being virtually out of it following the primaries.

5. McKenna has been in it the whole time from what I can tell

I've been posting the Washington Governor polls here for the past couple months and McKenna has been doing well in all of them. He has usually been only a few points behind, and sometimes he's been a few points ahead.

So I don't think he's just making a comeback now - he's been consistently polling well for several months. Inslee still has the edge though from what I can tell.

2. Obama is only a few points below his 2008 numbers (+17)

But as for the Governor's race, it has been close all along. The polls have been like this for quite some time. Usually Inslee has only had a lead of a point or two.

4. Don't make us come up there

GOTV and insure this is a win.

6. I already voted here

we all voted for Inslee. Hey 1 point up here is ok, the last senate and gov race were decided with less than 200 votes.

7. A close race so far, with a small edge to Inslee

8. McKenna is a slime-ball who only pretends to be moderate,

just like every other Republican in this state who wants a chance at a state-wide office.
