Nethercutt to Challenge Murray
Speaker-slaying Congressman George Nethercutt (R-WA) has decided to challenge Senator Patty Murray (D-WA).I give the edge to Murray in this race; but Nethercutt can make her life very miserable. Also, the Bush campaign will probably target Washington state in 2004, thereby helping Nethercutt in his Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts. My full 2004 Senate analysis is here.
