Will Bruce Harrell sing the Husky Fight Song tonight? Will “passionate Latina” Venus Velazquez come away with the win (she’s passionate)? Does Bill Sherman have the hot hand, or is it enviro-boy Keith Scully who’ll be the next King County law top dog? Will Joe Schwajajaya survive to challenge the Nice Lady From The Newspaper? Do people even know what the Port Commission does?
If you know where the parties are, put ’em in the comments.
There’s always the Montlake Ale House…
Ultimately, where does all the sewer water end up?
Who knows where the time goes? Hell, I din’t even know where the poop ends up!
Drinking Liberally… we’re there. We have left overs. Not many drunks willing to vote liberal tonight.
Richard Pope should hold his party at The Pumphouse.
where is everyone getting their poll results from? can’t find on the news….
jean godden will score big – the grade dame is a fighter – and what the hell is a wrinkle or two – marks of character for sure
Bruce Harrell will take the open seat – everyone I know voted for him
It is a boring primary – Joe Whatcha, the Greenie and wife abuser will sink into the slime for good
Give it up Joe. It is over. You and Manning need to get very drunk and spend the rest of the night offering solace to each other.
Richard Pope has big balls – and poor politics
Rumor is when playing Bingo, the number 69 get yells and hollers from Richard, n’est pas?
And, there are other rumors –
another note – the Stranger endorsement is the kiss of death
let’s see tonight, hear Venus’s polling slipping badly in last two weeks
I hope Richard Pope pulls it off, n’est pas? Heh…
Pope stomped the write-in.
re 11: Cool!
A real person wins out over the establishment. Now let’s get behind him and give us Dems. another win over the benighted trolls of the right.
I hope they don’t send Pussy Sotelo in again with her dirty tricks! Maybe the guy in the Cigarette Boat finally drove her over the edge.
Noise from a Cigarette Boat!?! That’s a lot of pressure for a Mercer Island Wingnut.
Roger Rabbit couldn’t attend tonight because this is election day and I’m a pollworker.

Check out this link for X-tra Cool Union made clothing with pro-union messages on them.
What could be more apropos for Labor Day than supporting the union working man!
Sorry that SeattleTammy and I couldn’t make it tonight. Got a bit of a cold, and am having chicken soup. With Matzoh balls. Hope to be there next week.
Richard Pope’s Opponent Arrested for DUI
According to King County Elections’ web site, Pope is leading the write-in candidate by 85% to 15% in the Democratic primary; meanwhile, Republican Jane Hague is being prosecuted for drunk driving.

“Councilmember Hague faces DUI hearing
“By Peyton Whitely
“Seattle Times Eastside bureau
“Metropolitan King County Councilmember Jane Hague faces a Redmond court appearance Aug. 29 on a driving-under-the-influence charge, according to court records. …
“Hague … pleaded not guilty to the charge July 30, requested a jury trial and notified the court of an affirmative defense, court filings indicate. …
“Details of the charge were not immediately available, but court filings indicate the case was brought in King County District Court in Redmond as a result of an investigation by the Washington State Patrol, with the violation taking place June 2.”
Quoted under fair use; for complete story and/or copyright info see link above.
Pope sure knows how to pick his opponents. In his last race, he ran against a judge who got suspended for misconduct. This time around, he’s running against a drunk driver. Given how crappy all his opponents are you’d think he’ll eventually get elected to something! Maybe he’s got a chance now that he’s a Democrat.
I can already see how Pope’s race will play out … his opponent will be campaigning from a dormitory room at Cedar Hills.
RR – you need to get a fucking life.
@20 My life is under control. Worry about yours.
Next, Mark will be peeping in my burrow … when he does, this is what he’ll see. http://www.funpic.hu/en.picvie.....d&p=7
Hey MARKIE BOY it ain’t my fault your REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE got arrested for DRUNK DRIVING! You need a better political party to hang out with.
Man I love it when my posts piss off righties! It proves I’m doing my job.
Actually, there’s quite a bit of fucking in my life already! See #22.
OK Roger, which one in that pic is you? Or are you the one who took the pic? And what does Mrs. Rabbit have to say???
22 Pellethead, we know you are the one in the “rear”; double entendre intended!

Rudy Giuliani got a DUI? That would have made front page news. Making shit up as usual. And by the way…..why does it take 3 posts to retort? Love viewing your own posts?
re 28: Are you in favor of retort reform?
re: 29
I don’t know about retort reform, but tort reform sounds good to me!
Yeah, those off-year primaries are when the really GOOD election night parties begin! Everyone to Pope’s!
13 Good for you, Roger!
Roger Rabbit says:
Roger Rabbit couldn’t attend tonight because this is election day and I’m a pollworker.
Let me guess…..you try and strong arm people into voting the way you think everyone should and/or destroy ballots of those that don’t vote the way you want?
Mark:
No, that was Mr. Sharanski’s take on the responsibilities of a poll worker, not Roger’s.
Not much fun in the elections over here in Gig Harbor. One Port of Tacoma election, and that was it. Still, thanks to the poll workers that kept my polling place available even for that obscure election.
(Unlike you folks up in KC, the Port of Tacoma elections aren’t nearly so interesting.)
Call me old fashioned, but I still think of voting as important enough to get out of my recliner and go to the polling place in person.
34 JB
Come on. Do you really want to insult the people who think elections are important enough to vote in every one, state, federal, and local, for the last three decades or so (gee, that sounds like me) but who happen to appreciate the convenience of voting by mail? Really?
Roger Rabbit sez @17: “Councilmember Hague faces DUI hearing”
Markie the Boy Wonder sez @28: “Rudy Giuliani got a DUI?”
Roger Rabbit sez: Markie, you are SERIOUSLY CONFUSED.
@28 (continued) It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Guiliani has a few DUIs on his rap sheet, as it’s hard to find a Publican politician who isn’t a
(a) drunk
(b) adulterer
(c) cross dresser
(d) wife beater
(e) thief
(f) liar
(g) all of the above,
but in this instance, I wasn’t referring to Guiliani, dumbass! Terri Schiavo’s ashes show more brain activity than you do.
@33 “Let me guess…..you try and strong arm people into voting the way you think everyone should and/or destroy ballots of those that don’t vote the way you want?”
I’m glad you asked that question, because I’m delighted to have an opportunity to clear up the misconceptions held by many Republicans (e.g., you and Sharansky) concerning what a pollworker’s job is:
I do what I was taught in pollworker training;
I follow the instructions in the pollworker manual;
I do what my supervisor (the polling place Inspector) says;
I don’t interfere with anyone’s right to cast a ballot;
I don’t walk off the job before my shift is over.
As the failure of Sharansky’s pollworker career demonstrates, many Republicans lack even basic skills to hold a job. Sharanksy is not job-ready. He needs to be sent through a government work-skills program before he’ll be able to support himself. Meanwhile, he’s living off his lawyer-wife’s income.
@34 “I still think of voting as important enough to get out of my recliner and go to the polling place in person.”
I still think of it as important enough to get up at 4:30 a.m., report to a polling place at 6 a.m., and work until 9:30 p.m. … and, no, I don’t expect any gratitude from democracy-hating Republicans. I realize they’d prefer to bypass the election and let Karl Rove appoint the winners.

I think you are talking about yourself. You said “my favorite Republican candidate got a DUI”. Well, my favorite GOP candidate is Rudy. Not a word about Rudy getting a DUI in ANY news outlet you lying non credible worthless pile of bullshit!!

You’re a poll worker. Well whoopty fucking doo!!! Congratulations. You are one step up from a newspaper delivery boy. A job I had in the 6th grade.
From the abundance of time you have on your hands to be typing thousands of lying bullshit posts every single day, I take it your career path has all but peaked and you are now destined for your new career as a census taker. Look at it this way though, you only have to work once every 10 years so think of the time you will have to post the millions of additional rambling lines of bullshit!!!
