Jerry,

Not true. The Dems have long been dominant in WA, since well before the Californicator mass migration of the 80s.

Todd made the right call. WA drivers have long been overly courteous - after you, no, after you, no I insist, after you, which has become a mess with CA assertive, but disciplined freeway driving style: merge or die, bastages!, combined with drivers from Chicago, Boston, and a few other aggressive sorts - it's no wonder traffic's a mess.

I remember the idiocy, but it was so normal, a WA driver would stop at a stoplight at an intersection and wait for the green even at 3:00 AM in the morning, and there wasn't another car for miles. Same with pedestrians - would wait for the walk signal when there was no traffic. The outsiders who immirated here got us over that, but now there is always traffic around, so running red lights doesn't seem to be working out as well as intended.
