I have mixed feelings where Slade is concerned. He did alot to help us sportsman and just as much to hurt us. But if you think you are better off with Maria Cantwell in his place then think again. Slade was a very senior Senator with alot of influence and Maria is a first term nuttball. Lets not forget that she lied to us right out of the gate by saying that she was going to pay for her own campaign so she wouldn't have the special interest groups in her pockets. As soon as the election was over she allowed these groups to "Repay" her for her campaign. Nice
