"Murray faces pivotal Wash. Senate race" by Curt Woodward, Associated Press | August 19, 2010

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Senator Patty Murray and her Republican challenger dived right into their fall matchup after winning the primary in a high-stakes election that could determine the balance of power in the nation’s capital.

Democrat Murray said a vote for Republican Dino Rossi is a vote for the failed policies of President George W. Bush....

I'm sorry, but he is SO YESTERDAY!

You better come up with something better than that!

Murray and Rossi easily won Washington’s primary Tuesday on a day on which President Obama came to the state to campaign for the Democrat.

She thought he would help?

Obama’s presence shows how high the stakes are. The GOP will probably need to oust Murray to regain control of the Senate.

Wyoming held a tight GOP gubernatorial primary Tuesday. Former US attorney Matt Mead claimed the Republican primary, making him the favorite in November to win a governor’s seat held by a Democrat.

With about 59 percent of the expected vote counted, Murray had 46 percent, compared with Rossi’s 34 percent. GOP hopeful Clint Didier, a former Super Bowl winner for the Washington Redskins who has the backing of the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin, was running a distant third with 12 percent.

The results signal how close the race might be for Murray. The fact a three-term senator is unable to pull a majority of the vote shows her vulnerability, but she could gain in November when the Democratic base is more motivated.

When you find a motivated Democrat after the last four years of betrayals let me know.
