The discussion opens on the Big Indictment of Alaska’s Senator "for life," Ted Stevens, and what might happen in the Alaksa senatorial race. Naturally, that raises the question of whether Alaska is in play for Obama. Goldy wonders if Obama will visit Washington state, and why didn’t Obama show up at Netroots Nation, anyway? Is McCain too old, mean, and angry to be President? Or is it his technological ineptitude that should rule him out? In three years, will anyone even
remember free plastic bags? Finally, the panel makes their predictions about whether the transit measure will pass in November.
Goldy was joined by
Seattle P-I columnist and
Strange Bedfellow senior contributor Joel Connelly, Washington state Communications Director for Obama for America
Josh Field,
Cogitamus contributor Nick Beaudrot, and
The Stranger’s and
Slog’s Eli Sanders.
