Roll in the Votes!

Voting day, or week and a half (as quoted by Dino Rossi from http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003755412), is getting closer and closer. This means all the campaigning and such is done and now it's time for the citizens of Washington state to decide who they want to be a new (or returning) senator to represent them in DC. The candidates are encouraging everyone to send in their completed votes, as you can imagine. According to Patrick McDonald, a spokesman for the secretary of state's office, 50 percent of voters have already turned in their ballots and they're expecting a total of 66 percent, which would be the third-largest turnout in Washington state that wasn't a Presidential election, of course (http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003755412). Rossi has been going town to town, along with the help of Barrack Obama and Joe Biden, to remind everyone to vote and get their ballots sent in. Rossi knows, if he wins the election, that would bring the senate one step closer to Republicans having control. So, to him and most Republicans, a lot is at stake in this election. It's heating up and it's going to be exciting to see what the next 8 days before the votes get sent in bring our candidates, Rossi and Murray, and what steps they continue to take to get to the top!
