Good October
In the years ahead, we may come to remember these exciting final few weeks of the 2008 election season as the Good October of the American People.
With our economy slowly unraveling, voters in this country are clamoring for a fundamental change in the way this country is managed.
Barack Obama now holds a commanding lead over John McCain. His projected electoral vote tally is well into the three hundred range.
Democrats lead in eight of nine races needed for a supermajority in the United States Senate and are statistically tied in three others.
Al Franken and Jeff Merckley have broken ahead in their Senate races and Democratic leads continue to grow in Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico.
The Democratic Party holds significant leads in major state races across the country. Beverly Purdue leads her Republican opponent in North Carolina's
gubernatorial race. Jim Himes leads Christopher Shays in the Connecticut 2nd.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and independent observers project Democratic pickups all across the country.
Darcy Burner is leading Republican Dave Reichert in the 8th Congressional District.
In the race for the governor, the news continues to be bright. Over the weekend, she picked up endorsements from the Spokesman-Review and Everett Herald, which supported Rossi in 2004. Gregoire has twice as many newspaper endorsements as Rossi.
Superior Court Judge Paris Kallas has moved a hearing on Rossi's subpoena, an ominous signal to the Republican and one indicating that Judge Kallas will be scrutinizing motions filed by both parties.
Joe Biden was in Tacoma on Sunday, urging all Washingtonians to get behind Governor Gregoire. Biden permanently unhitched Rossi's wagon from Obama's message of change, saying that "all that change will be lost" if this state does not re-elect its Governor.
Al Gore will be here on Friday to add his own vigorous endorsement for the Governor's re-election.
On Monday, The Olympian published an article rebuffing Rossi's claims about his healthcare cut and lauding the Governor for taking the lead on healthcare coverage for all children. They reported that Rossi's 2003 budget did, in fact, cut 18,000 kids off healthcare and then reduced enrollment further by another 9,500.
When the Democrats took over, enrollment in child healthcare immediately shot up. That's the record given to us by the Governor. Free healthcare for every child. It's something Barack Obama supports and, with his leadership, we may be able to give the entire country, with our state leading by example.
Crosscut, a notoriously conservative blog, published an article last week detailing the Governor's successes in reducing the budget and giving her credit for taking the lead on that issue. They reported that Washington's economy is one of the most stable in the nation, leading our neighbors in the Pacific Northwest.
This is an exciting time for the Democratic Party and for everyone in the country. On November 5th, let's hope we will finally escape from our long national nightmare start rebuilding this country under new leadership.
Our work in Washington must renew the hope and the promise of the American dream as we move forward, together, as one.
