Election spin

by Goldy — Wednesday, 9/15/04, 12:25 am

I’ll blog more on this in the morning, but I just wanted to make one comment on Ron Sims’ disappointing showing against Christine Gregoire, and what it says about his tax reform.

Ron Sims was 35-40 points behind when he announced his tax plan. And at the moment, it looks like he’ll lose by a similar amount.

Don’t let anybody kid you that this was a referendum on tax reform. It was a primary election.

    I couldn\’t be more dissapointed with Ron\’s loss. I agreed fully to your endorsment for Ron, as spelled out below. How sad that the one true leader (with clear goals and the map to get to the end) was fully shuned by the voters.

    It\’s beginning to look like the voting majority enjoys \”leaders\” that tell them what they want to hear, reguardless if the have the capibility to truly produce. Sad…truly sad.
