And Harry thinks Hillary is a moderate.

Awhile back, somebody posted a link where you took a test, and the results
showed where you fit on a line of people from ultra-left to ultra-right.

Without ever seeing the results, I accurately predicted *precisely* where
Gould and Harry ended up on the line. Later, I'll google up that thread.
Harry was in an almost exact tie with Hillary Clinton...and Gould was to
the left of both of them.

ultra conservative, right wing judge from the most pro-Republican county

Gee Chuck, Seems you're the only one in Wa state that knows Judge
Bridges party affiliation.

True the Rossi brigade filed in Chelan, because 64% voted Rossi, but
donuts to dollars you're talking out a paper wazoo when it comes to
Judge Bridges.

Heres a hint, Judge Bridges was appointed by Gov Booth Gardner (dem) in
1988.

BTW, Whats that shiny Bling Bling thing sticking out of Bridges ear?

I don't remember the poll, but I sure don't want to be in the same room
with right-wing rectal fissures. They smell.

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

I very much admire Judge Bridges for the political courage he
displayed.

He answers to an electorate in a county that is almost as "R" as King
County is "D".
(As you know, Kerry got 80% of the vote in King County).

At the time the Republicans filed they said there were two reasons they
selected Judge Bridges.

1) He is one of the few judges in the state who had previously heard an
election challenge.
(He overturned an election for Mayor of Wenatchee, IIRC)

2) They expected a "fair" (as in "friendly") hearing in the courtroom
of a judge with a conservative track record subject to removal by the
voters in an extremely conservative county.

That thing sticking out of his ear is a diamond stud. Just because a
guy is a conservative
doesn't mean he can't be stylish, or even a bit avante garde. Who do
you think is buying all those $35,000 motorcycles these days? A bunch
of the market is 60-year-old businessmen
and based on demographics alone most of them are probably
Republicans.......meaning, of course, that they only ride those
Harley's to church picnics. :-)

BTW, I considered voting for Rossi. I liked the guy on a personal
level. Gregoire was only so-so as an AG. In the end, I finally went for
Christine Gregoire because she had better initials. (just kidding). In
the end, I was turned off by the *very* dirty last minute campaigning
by the Rossi campaign and by the independent PAC groups supporting him.
Dino Rossi I could stand, but the people he was obviously going to
surround himself were not appealing at all. It was a race that boiled
down to the lesser of two evils- and the almost perfectly 50/50 split
across the state probably indicated that most people had a tough time
figuring out who the lesser evil was. In a county where Kerry took 80%
of the vote, I think Gregoire's percentage was down in the 60's, so a
lot of people with progressive preferences obviously struggled with the
same decision I did.

Judge Bridges showed a lot of guts, and did his job without caving in
to political pressure. If he ever runs for a statewide office I would
have to consider his candidacy very carefully.

The US House of Representatives use electonic voting. Are you against that

No, I never said I was against electronic voting.
