A couple of year ago the Thurston County Democrats became a “membership organization,” but not really. We started accepting “members” to our organization, but we never really gave them a role. We let them talk at meetings, but not actually vote. So, what’s the point? Well, apparently there was some fear that there would be…

Andy’s midterm redux
Andy over at Thurston Pundits has some thoughts on the 2006 elections. He mispells Bob Macleod’s name and grouses over I-920, 933, Cantwell and other stuff that in the end doesn’t make sense. But, his 933 rundown is priceless: On 933 losing- my family will get screwed on this. However in Thurston especially this will…
Bringing the people in
Transition NY, a site launched by governor elect Spitzer. What a great idea. PDF: The system for submitting ideas is fairly simple–and it appears that submissions are being screened before being posted and Spitzer is collecting names and zipcodes in the process (handy, huh?).

No Comment O’Sullivan
O’Sullivan, 51, could not be reached for comment at the Republicans’ election night gathering at the Governor Hotel in Olympia. That was from the Olympian yesterday. No new story in the Olympian today and unless you subscribe to the Chronicle, you can’t read their articles. So, I can’t tell if they got to him. I…

Kevin O’Sullivan went down, not even breaking 40 percent as of right now. I-933 went down in…

Stuart Elway gets blogs, even if he doesn’t know it
I heard somewhere that when you blog, you should say six nice things for every bad thing you say. I’m not anywhere near that, but I do have something nice to say about someone that balances out getting on Terry Thompson and Susan Owens recently. Stuart Elway is the unfortunately named pollster who helped the…
