Dino Rossi won the vote for governor the first three times they counted, but unfortunately they only certified the fourth time they counted, once they finally "found" enough to take Gregoire over the top.

See, this is the election that stuck in my mind for a long time, and probably what made me far more suspicious about the 2020 election than a lot of my younger family. Not to derail US Politics General into WA Politics, but I'm convinced that WA would be a lot more purple than anyone gives it credit for if it were ever put under the microscope. Probably not enough to put it in true swing state territory, especially with all the CA refugees we've had since that election, but you don't even have to go to the deep-red eastern half of the state to see how massive of a political difference there is once you leave the Seattle bubble.

RFK Jr. dropping out is a huge blunder. Now thousands of disaffected Democrats who were unsure of Harris are now siding with her to ensure her vote counts. Meanwhile independents will flee from the Trump campaign which has now aligned itself with a parasite-infested conspiracy theorist. REMINDER: normies hate conspiratards.

To be fair if I got used like a dumb rube to create artificial hype for a woman absolutely nobody in my party had voted for, at any point, accepting the nomination because party insiders finally got scurred old Diamond Joe wasn't able to campaign anymore I'd be pretty bitter too.

But I'm not a celebrity-worshipping smoothbrain so I don't exactly have that problem.

What strikes me more about today's events than the endorsement is the complete evisceration of the democrats that was carried out by RFK Jr. in his speech. He said things most (if not nearly all) republicans would not say. The subjects he discussed are all considered "conspiracies" by the msm. The Speech said things that dare not be said. That was the real nuclear explosion that occurred today.

Energy in politics can very easily be generated by talking about something - anything - new. Trump did that just by saying "build. a. wall." Right now it feels like both the parties are treading water a bit. I like Vance talking more about things the younger crowd thinks about, like home ownership, but you've got to create bigger shifts in how people think and what they are allowed to think about in order to shift your party enough to get new blood and refine your existing ideas.

And it's clear that people want new things to talk about, considering how successful long-form centrist heterodox podcasts usually are.
