I believe we have a chance of winning WA-8th

Previous KING TV/Survey USA polls in the race had Reichert with a big, double-digit lead seven weeks ago, with DelBene fighting back to close within 7 points three weeks ago. The latest results indicate no overall change in the race since then.

Reichert has refused to debate Suzan DelBene. We really need some national attention or help in our district. DelBene is an outstanding candidate and this
district which has voted for the Democrat in the last three Presidential elections is ready for a Progressive Democrat like DelBene.

I wish we could get her on one of the news shows. She's an exceptional speaker.

1. Reichart had a brain injury this past year

He was hit in the head by a branch and subsequently had brain surgery. Although it's being reported that he is fully recovered he may have residual symptoms which could cause some alarms about his health and extent of longterm injury . He is really laying very low. I haven't seen any recent interviews from him at all.]

2. This excerpt from the Stranger says it all.

But at a meet and greet with the state House Republican Caucus, the Reichert Express quickly jumped off the rails. While the hair and the biceps were as dazzling as promised, once Reichert opened his mouth, it quickly became apparent that the candidate was not. Rambling and incoherent, unknowledgeable and unprepared, Reichert was so bad at answering even the softest of softball questions that he had his fellow Republicans literally shaking their heads in disbelief.

Which is why he refused to debate. He knows she would have decimated him.

Thanks for the articles.
