A recent letter writer states the Democrats are falling behind in the race for King County Executive because of Susan Hutchinson’s name.

Or possibly it could be that the last Democrat in this office made a mockery of it.

Maybe Mr Rosellini hasn’t read the papers lately, but with the Demo’s in charge, this state is $6-8 million in the red. Unemployment at 9.5 percent, and we are about to get taxed out of are homes.

It’s obvious that it is time to put a Republican in office for some check and balances.

The only people that are out of touch with reality are the same people that would vote another Democrat in to office, that have put this state in the mess it’s in.
