Despite the pleasure at seeing Obama elected at the national level it appears to me that we have more work to do at the state and local level. The 4th CD will be poorly represented by the same lame republican. Governor Gregoire won but the quality of her record should have made the win more substantial. The Washington 8th LD's sole Democratic candidate is behind in the count against a single-issue, light-weight Republican. We couldn't even field a qualified opponent in the race for the other position in the 8th LD. But then neither could the Republicans as Rob Welch spent election night on suicide watch at the local mental health facility.
The work begins now to develop new candidates for the next cycle. Also beginning now is the work to expose the flaws of the heart of the Republican world view. After all, how can you expect people who think strong government is the problem to govern well or even competently?
