Election Recap

Earlier today I posted about the races and candidates that I truly cared about. It's now time for a recap of the results of those races.

WON Rick Larsen for United States Congress D
LOST Dino Rossi for Governor R
LOST Jason Osgood for Secretary of State D
Allan Martin for Treasurer R TOO CLOSE TO CALL
WON Brian Sonntag for Auditor D
WON Doug Sutherland for Commissioner of Public Lands R
LOST John Adams for Insurance Commissioner R
WON The Republican Slate for 39th LD State House
LOST Yes on Initiative 985
WON Yes on Initiative 1000
LOST No on Initiative 1029

It seems that I am batting .500 tonight. Not bad in my book.

Of course these are guesses based upon the current numbers. They might not hold because Washington has a unique and ineffective election system which makes it impossible to know definitive results until days, sometimes weeks after the election. Hopefully that will be changed at some future point.
