Todd,
If you think that the average democrat is for out door activities, then you are clueless. I guarantee that you can talk all about fishing, hunting or wear fur to every republican gathering I've been to. I would love to see you wear a fur coat to a democrat convention in Seattle, and then start talking about how great the elk you shot tasted. You might make it out alive.

If you think development regulations are so bad, then surely you have definite solutions that will work. I would love to see them. What I see are liberal county good-doers insisting on tactics that work in reverse. Tack road impact fees of $4000.00 on people living 50 feet from a freeway, since they will spend more time on congested roads and $250.00 fees on people living in Eatonville, and then wonder why growth is moving outward. I live in town, 2 minutes from a freeway, with 24 hour bus service, 5 minutes from the sounder train, in an area 99% developed, about 20% multifamily and 65% with small lots. But when those of us with larger lots want to redevelop we find out that we have a lot size requirement that is larger than 90% of the growth area. There are areas 20 minutes from the free way with no bus service that have 5 times the denity allowed. Why, because the county wants to spread out growth. What we need are politicans that are not after the big guys because they are easy targets, but will start requiring people who live on hood canal hook up to sewer and outlaw nitrates in the area. Politicans that will make all riverfront owners put in dry wells, rather than making developers 2 miles away spend a hundred thousand extra on systems that have a negligable effect.
I am waiting with great anticipation for you to tell me of all the great laws Christine Gregoire enacted and how they will save us. Please, rather than just resort to telling us how dumb we all are, tell us what the democratic candidate has done that is so great....
