Yesterday Sen. Hillary Clinton had an 83% chance of defeating Sen. John McCain in a general election. Today there was a new Michigan poll [...]
It all begins again this morning at 8. The vacation is over. And I'm eager to start feeding the maw of the blog beast again. See you here in the morning. Here's your first post-vacation Wild Card ...
[...]Rasmussen released a new head-to-head poll in Michigan today.
The poll shows Sen. Hillary Clinton tied with Sen. John McCain at 44% each. This is an improvement for Clinton who was down by 9% in an EPIC/MRA poll a month ago. McCain led Clinton by +3% and +2% in [...]
We’ve suggested in a few posts that the 5th District Republican contest, which has been broadly assumed to be lining up for legislator and gubernatorial candidate Kevin Mannix over rerunning businessman Mike Erickson, may be turning. The weight of Erickson TV ads, mostly aimed hard at Mannix, could be having [...]
When KVI host Kirby Wilbur used his radio show to announce a 30% Property Tax Cut initiative, my reaction was admittedly knee jerk. Washington’s public schools rely on property taxes for 100% of their state and local funding; how could our children possibly afford such a dramatic cut? I [...]
This report is a little frustration specifically because it lacks some of the most specific stuff: Statistics. Yet the case study details in it are more than compelling.
This is a just-out report called (in over-long title) “A Survey of Human Trafficking in the Spokane Region: Conducted by the [...]
I was at home, nerd-style, last night and could not believe my eyes and ears when Saturday Night Live started with this segment... ZING!
Goldy at HorsesAss.org recently wrote about the signs of gloom and doom for the Republicans. The bad new and “expectations management” continues. Just look at a couple of the articles that hit the press this weekend:
Politico has the headline GOP getting crushed in polls, key races:

Both sides say the states clearly in play now include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.Update: For the record, I don't agree with the quote.This is all part of the [...]
There's a good front-page article in today's NYT that sketches out both Obama and McCain's coming campaign strategies (McCain is a continuation of the Bush era, Obama is out of touch with middle America); how both candidates are going to focus on Independent and Hispanic voters (Oh [...]
John McCain is coming to Washington for a fundraiser. But, it looks like he’s going to take the money and run. David Postman writes a post about how McCain hasn’t guaranteed that any of the money raised in state will stay here.
[...]This week, Rep. Rick Larsen became the latest member of the state's Democratic congressional delegation to pledge support for a presidential candidate.
Some may question Larsen's late in the game support for the politician rated "most liberal U.S. [...]
Sounds like a disturbing number of people thought my April Fools' Day post was serious.
This campaign season has gotten so weird, it's hard to tell truth from fiction...
SIFF tickets are on sale today to the general public--the web site's a little pokey today, but if you have patience, you can buy 'em online here. Other outlets are at Pacific Place (second floor kiosk), SIFF Cinema, and SIFF HQ (400 Ninth Ave N in South Lake [...]
These would be the same Iraqi police that we've spent hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars training, right?
For Abdel-Qader Ali there is only one regret: that he did not kill his daughter at birth. 'If I had realised then what she would become, I would have killed her [...]
Film
'The Apartment' at SIFF Cinema at McCaw HallPresumably to cleanse the palate before a raft of films from around the world arrives, SIFF Cinema is spending the week screening old greats—including, tonight, The Apartment, Billy Wilder's 1960 masterpiece about an insurance company employee constantly having to vacate [...]
I got a lot of nice emails, cards, and letters after my mother died on March 31. But this one, which arrived in the office on Friday, is perhaps my favorite.
Thank you, A Once In A While Reader. That was very thoughtful.
And is the New York [...]
Is it actually possible for John McCain to actually be older than his mother?
I suppose the idea was that by sitting McCain next to his mother, he’d appear younger by comparison, but it doesn’t come off that way. Hope they give this ad a lot of play.

There's a lot going on for a Sunday, and I've got some Mother's Day love in my heart.
Emerald City Comicon is today at the Convention Center. Today's convention should be much slower than yesterday's, so it's probably a better day to actually, you know, shop for comic [...]
