Wow.

I’m a Democrat, and I would normally just have pulled the lever for Kim Abel.

Now I really have to think about it. I’ve lived in Washington my entire life, and indicating you might have to support a state income tax is, in this state, tantamount to political suicide.

Washintonians, fortunately, have always been against a state income tax.

Kim Abel might just have lost my vote on this issue alone.
