hello, mr. president

 
it has been a very long week for senator candidates, patty murray and dino rossi. most recently in the news would be previous president, bill clinton, campaigning in our state for the democratic candidate, patty murray. she also welcomed the presence of current president, barack obama. obama's presence in all of the tight electoral races has drastically helped the position of all democratic candidates and is proving to help in their favor. the reason obama has been helping democratic candidates campaign is to ensure that the dems continue to keep the majority in congress.

rossi, on the other hand, is continuing on his low road, taking as many jabs at murray as possible. but come on, he's going to have to do better than a few commercials. while murray is off campaigning her life away, rossi is meeting one on one with voters, answering questions on his policies, etc. and providing some reassurance he is the man for the job. it obviously isn't helping much, letting murray pull into the lead at 49 percent to rossi's 46.8. the only thing at this point that might be hurting murray is that she has not spent the one on one time that rossi has with her voters. she's not really showing loyalty to the people who have continued to reelect her since 1992. we'll see in the near future whether or not this factor will play into the candidates' standings.
