Of course the idea of me leaning to a Republican is no bigger surprise than you leaning to a Democrat... Of course the fishing organizations we both are involved in are not specifically endorsing either one. I am sincerely bringing this up after attending a face to face meeting you were invited to I think...Gregoire has been invited to do the same type of forum but has not answered yet.

That nice young man 4Salt has a point about so much more to consider in a governor than fishing. I think either one of the two candidates will be a much better friend to sports fishing than Gary Locke. Gary did say early in his career that he wanted to restore Washington's sports fishing reputation of 20 years ago...Like so many of his intiatives that one failed too.

I just thought maybe we can all dig into the issues that effect sports fishing as one barometer to judge these two candidates by. It is unfortunately inevitable that voting will be along party lines no matter how attractive the opposition is.

Thanks for the info on Gregoire.
