Some thoughts on Washington State Senate Race

Dino Rossi and Clint Didier both need to start campaigning more. Dino Rossi still doesn't even have a website with his positions yet. Didier hasn't updated his website very much. You got to have an active online community these days if you want to win elections. Didier started out good but for the last few weeks his main headline has been about his position on taking farm subsudies. Ok, Farm subsudies we dont like them, but start talking about something else like the deficeit and out of control spending. Hammering away at those two issues alone will draw lots of support. Rossi on the other hand is not campaigning much as of yet. The first election is just over two months away. Rossi better realize it wont be easy taking down the Tea Party backed Didier. As a matter of fact it will be interesting to see how Western Washington votes with Paul Akers and Dino Rossi splitting up the votes while Didier will easily take Eastern Washington. I am guessing about 40% of conservatives live on the East Side of the state. Thats a pretty big chunk Didier can depend on. If Paul Akers withdraws from the Race then It will be Rossi vs Murray. Didier still has a chance but I want to see a more effective online presence. He really needs to focus on Eastern Washington and Tea partiers from the West side. If he does this effectivly he can upset Rossi. Paul Akers needs to stay in the race, he is Didier's only shot at winning.
