Patty Murray’s Senate Seat Is Not Safe
February 3, 2010 1 Comment
Some politicians and pundits have said that they consider Washington’s Senate seat to be safely in Democrat hands. They are wrong.
As Scott Brown’s recent victory in Massachusetts shows, even the bluest of blue states can and do elect Republicans.
A recent poll of likely voters listed by RealClearPolitics has a theoretical contest of Republican Dino Rossi versus the incumbent Democrat Patty Murray. Rossi leads with 45%, to Murray’s 43%.
Furthermore, among the critical block of independent voters polled, Rossi has a lead of 17 points (44% Rossi, 27% Murray).
Although this is just a hypothetical match-up, it clearly shows that the Democrats are not invulnerable in this upcoming election. Voters are not satisfied with the explosion of government debt, and programs being rammed down their throats by the likes of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.
The 2010 election is likely to show Republican gains in both houses of Congress. It is even possible that Republicans will gain control of both the House of Representatives, and the Senate.

As a Washingtonian, this is encouraging. As a Washingtonian, I plan to campaign for Dino Rossi; and as a start, I referenced this article in a recent article of my own. We have dragons to slay.
