McCain, COME TO WASHINGTON (State)!

Many in the political circuit in my home state of Washington were abuzz last week with word that a new poll shows Senator McCain a mere two percentage points behind Senator Obama in the Evergreen State.

That number is down from double-digit lead just weeks ago. If that poll is supported by others, it would be very wise for the McCain campaign to send one or both of the candidates out to the friendlier Washington along with some ad money. It would be a cheaper play than going full bore in California and it would force the Obama camp to spend time and money in a part of the country long thought to be a lock for their column on election night. And, with the governor of Alaska on the ticket, who knows, maybe Washington State will surprise a lot of people (myself included) and color itself red for the first time in a very very long time. Lets not forget that in Washington State, change equals Republican!
