Great point about the Demacratic leadership in Washington State doing next to nothing in terms of increasing fishing opportunities for rec fishers. Their hearts bleed so badly for the tribes that they give away the sports share without a whimper(not a knock on the tribes...I would take all the steelhead I could get away with too). I can't see GW doing any worse. At least he likes to hunt and fish and therefore will be more able to put his-self in our hipboots. My other thought is that no matter if you're a candidate, a Florida State Supreme court judge, a Supreme court judge or a steelheader with too much time on his hands.....you will have political bias that will keep you from seeing the truth....which will generally lie somewhere between the two points of view. Liberal paper...liberal rhetoric. Give GW a chance before you label him a failure.
