Grandpa, every paper and most reporters have a bias. Even our posts are typically "slanted". I won't make you work to figure mine out. Gregoire gets my vote for the following reasons:

In the debate I watched, Gregoire appeared more confident and competent , than Rossi. I liked her answers.

In her campaigning, Gregoire focuses on the problems facing the citizens of this state. Rossi states that business problems are top priority. Commercial fishing is big business and a powerful lobby. I think sportsfishers will be lucky to get more than lip service from Rossi.

Many board members are retired. Gregoire's priorities and goals are far more consistent with AARP's political agenda, than are Rossi's.

Two weeks ago, I saw a picture of Dino Rossi shaking hands with Dick Cheney. I'm still having nightmares.

Even if the governor's race was a photo finish dead heat, I wouldn't flip a coin. I'd vote for Gregoire. In the history of this state, only one woman has ever served as governor. Men have had the last quarter of a century to show what they could accomplish in our state's highest office. It's time to show our daughters that character, education, and dedication do pay off. It's time to show them there is no glass ceiling in WA government.
