Smiley is not going to win. Patty Murray is about to become of WA's most powerful senators since Magnus Magnusson.

I should've clarified my question. I know WA is distinct and prosperous. I'd like to know what other states can do to replicate that success. I live in New York City, it has as many corporations, but the quality of life isn't as high and I'd like to live in a nice place.

Yes, I forgot about that. Didn't Trafalgar's polling do okay in 16 and 20?

Do you think Julie Anderson will win the SoS role? She has a strong message and supports RCV.
Murray probably won't pull an upset as the fundamentals are against her. Washington State Democrats are an otherwise competent bunch.

I'm not from the PNW (though I'd love to move there). I'd like to know what you think makes WA distinct and prosperous. I'd also like to know why you think she's polling better than other Republicans.

She's only about 2-4% behind. If the polls are wrong, she could very well squeak by.

It's a political party that knows how to exercise and keep power. It's bad at gaining power or being in opposition. It's unable to make inroads in any blue state other than a rare blue moon election.
