The polls will soon be closing in the Pacific NW.
I'm posting this diary to give Washingtonian, Oregonian, Idahoan, Montanan, Alaskan Kossacks and any other Kossacks a thread to discuss local election results. News from the east coast often dominates here at DailyKos(especially the Webb/Allen race or the Lieberman/Lamont race), but we have our own contests to think about.
Like Tester, Burner, and Grant.
You may remember me as the Kossack who posted all those LIVE trial diaries last year during the gubernatorial election challenge (a lawsuit filed by the WA GOP hoping to invalidate the election of Christine Gregoire. It failed).
My friends at NPI are very busy providing LIVE elections coverage and analysis at Pacific Northwest Portal.
What are your thoughts on the top races here? Is all the late Burns hoopla just totally overblown? Will Darcy claim victory in WA-08? What's going to happen in WA-05 where Goldmark has mounted a strong challenge to McMorris and turnout is reportedly strong?
And what will happen in Oregon? Will Saxton be defeated? Can Ted hold on? And in Alaska, can Knowles defeat Palin?
In Idaho, will Democrats mount a resurgence with Grant and Brady?
