Are you tired of the meta and the division and the silliness? Do you miss the excitement of election time?

President Obama said he's pretty good at politicking. Once upon a time, DK was pretty good at it too. I want to know if you still have it. So read on for the fun...

The primary is going and if you're outside of Pierce, you have your ballot already. The secretary of state is predicting only 38% turnout. If you have not returned this yet, I want to make a plea that at a minimum you cast a primary vote for Patty Murray in the senate and return your ballot. This is not just about Patty Murray...

Sometimes I get so mad I want to spit. Fellow Democrats, do not cede the deficit fight or let Republicans off so easy. Hold them to the fire because it is THEY who cause debt.

My neighbor said something to me that set me off. It's part of the big theme of late... the country is drowning in debt and our government is bankrupt. This quickly follows by a rant about how Democrats are at fault and we need Republicans to fix it.

All this was the justification for voting against a funding measure for libraries to restore service previously cut for budget constraints. By most accounts, it will cost property owners about $20 a year.

Why is this so frustrating? Let me illustrate.

Just received email communication from the Craig Pridemore campaign. One of the more progressive candidates (and my personal favorite) in the race has withdrawn and endorsed Denny Heck.

I made a comment earlier today in Rep Slaughter's Cap Credit Cards diary. It was an idea I had a while back about how a main street bailout should have worked. I think the time for bailouts like this is past, but who knows... if the right person saw this maybe there is a chance?

Literally. March 2005 I sent an email. This year a law passed the legislature and was signed into state law. Had I not sent the email, this might never have been the case.

For the full story, you'll have to read on...

First returns were published just after 8PM PST in Washington. Since the state is almost entirely vote by mail, it means we'll have a long wait ahead for final totals.

2009 Election Results

Since the night has not been going so well, I am anxious to see some really good early numbers for Referendum 71. Washington's domestic partnership law might not be full equality, but a win here would be a step in the right direction.

Updates below...

I apologize for the brevity... I am very short on time.

The Washington legislature passed SB 5688 that grants rights to same-sex couples. It is the "everything but marriage" bill.

A group of concerned citizens decided to use our referendum process to block the law from going into effect. So now we have a vote.

If the bill is approved, it puts us very close to marriage equality in the state of Washington. If the bill is rejected, it sets things back ala California. Some more thoughts...

I apologize if this has been diaried, I didn't find anything recent in the search and how did I not realize this was up for vote? Some right-wing loons have brought a measure to the ballot to reject the domestic partnership law passed by the legislature. I was so focused on Maine I didn't realize this is happening in my own back yard!

If you live in Washington state, CAST YOUR VOTE NOW! Be sure to vote APPROVED ON REFERENDUM 71 to protect the domestic partnership law.

(While you are at it, vote NO no Initiative 1033.)

I am angry at the SFC, like many of you. I see the diaries calling for campaigns against various "Democrat" senators, cutting off the donations, FREAKING OUT, and so on.

But then I start to wonder... if I were the health insurance industry, what would I WANT to happen? I'd want to keep my opposition demoralized and disorganized. I think we are being played, and I think some of us are playing right into their hands. If you are doing what the insurance companies would want you to do... ask your self why.

If you are a parent of multiple children, this story should be all too familiar. Susie's favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. She also likes chocolate and cookie dough. Johnnie's favorite is strawberry, but he also like chocolate and rocky road.

Today you only have enough money to buy one container of ice cream. Based on the story, which ice cream is the best choice? Read on...
