Do Pledges of Bipartisanship Appeal to You?

by Josh Feit — Wednesday, 10/15/08, 10:38 pm

Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire and Republican challenger Dino Rossi like to talk a lot about bipartisanship and “reaching across the aisle.” 

I guess it polls well. 

But I think Washington voters are lying to the pollsters. 

Check this out. Washington, right behind Oregon, is the most polarized state in the union.

    “Do Pledges of Bipartisanship Appeal to You?”

    No. Republicans wanted a civil war. I didn’t but as that’s what we have, someone’s gotta win and someone’s gotta lose, and better they lose than us. So I say, kick ’em when they’re up and kick ’em when they’re down, and when they’re all the way down — kick ’em into the grave!*

    * Just kidding! I’ll settle for their party being disbanded and their candidates never winning another election.

    Is this some important political story?

    Bi means middle, the undecideds.

    Think Josh, think.

    Personally I don’t care dem, rep, ind, etc. It’s the ideas, history, accomplishments of the candidate.
