There's a couple of races still up in the air, but they're looking increasingly solid for the GOP.
Late ballots may decide the Assessor race, where dem hopes faded precipitously with a 55.7% GOP vote. Peter Van Nortwick may survive the paper's latest attempt at the politics of personal destruction, where, no doubt, this same paper will endorse his previously unendorsed opponent.
Also making life uncomfortable for an incumbent is Scott Weber in the Clerk's race. Scott currently leads in that race which continues to be marked by the incumbent's insistence on using illegal campaign signs that resemble DOT warning signs. Weber leads by 400 votes with 15,000 or so left to count. Given the traditional right break of late ballots, Weber's lead should climb by a couple of percentage points.
Voters continue to be fooled by wholly-owned tribal subsidiary Steve "Easy Money" Stuart, foaming at the mouth toll/bridge and light rail supporter who, like Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, continues to oppose a county-wide vote on this horrific, multi-billion dollar waste of money bridge/loot rail project.
The political machinations of the sudden support of a loot rail operations vote was a total scam: such a vote is a requirement of Craig Pridemore's gerrymandered taxing district bill. In short, it's not that Stuart supports a vote on this miniscule part of the project... it is, instead, that he has no choice. Because you can bet that if he could wave a wand around and impose this tax on us, he'd do it.
For the prosecutor's race, union thug Golik will sink a couple of points below 50%. Brent Boger looks like he'll prevail in the general as a result, given both how busy and vilified the unions will be this November.
Gary Lucas will continue to be "Sheriff-for-life."
Lasher looks fairly secure, with 54% of the vote for the Treasurer's seat, a job he's held for a thousand years or so.
All in all, a fairly solid performance by the county GOP.
Now, if they had only done their job and actually recruited candidates last year in some of these critical positions, clowns like Stuart would soon be drawing unemployment.
Buit, there were too many distractions... too many divisive endorsements... too many efforts to screw other candidates from the inside in both Clark and Cowlitz's GOP organizations.
Meanwhile, candidate recruitment suffers. And we're left with panicked choices and chasing others off.
This will be a solid year for the local GOP. But it should have been an exceptional year, because it will never get better then this, and in too many places we failed to take the proper steps to gain full advantage of the leftist miscues.
And that has to change.
