Hm.\u00a0 The new Clint Didier, the chllenger to the right of the Republican congress critter in the fourth district of Washington — and here who has as the greatest issue to depose of the Republican Incumbent that he voted to certify.Biden’s election victory —<\/p>\n

And in a past life Clint Didier was a professional football player.\u00a0 Harmless enough a position — sack a quarterback and pray to Jesus — who cares?\u00a0 The new guy… Chief of police.\u00a0 He is authorized to defend the law.<\/p>\n

Sucks to be in that town.<\/p>\n

Democracy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Republican Loren Culp placed second in the top-two primary and competed against Inslee in the general election on November 3. Inslee easily won re-election to a third term and defeated Culp in the election by a 13.44% margin. Nonetheless, Culp refused to concede and filed a lawsuit against Republican\u00a0Washington Secretary of State\u00a0Kim Wyman five weeks after the election. \u00a0<\/span>Culp’s actions drew criticism and were compared to\u00a0Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the\u00a02020 U.S. presidential election.<\/em><\/p>\n

I suppose despite it all, it is good the “illegal to lie about election results” bill failed.\u00a0 But damned if staring at Kulp doesn’t make it a tempting gesture.<\/p>\n

But here lies the strength of Washington’s “top two” primary.\u00a0 In a general election between these two Republicans, Democrats and Independents will pull Newhouse over.\u00a0 (Had Georgia a top two primary, I doubt Greene would be in Congress.) Though, it will spring a question for that minority Democratic voter… If polls suggest that Kulp, Newhouse, and random Democrat are closed in at 1, 2, 3 in the primary — thus leading to a possibility of Kulp — random Democrat matchup in the general that Kulp will, indeed, win — would enough Democrats just suck it up and get New house in there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
