I was wondering if something similar was taking place over at Washington state also. There is another phenomenon emerging through out the country which shows that by the next 15-20 years, a lot of the Southern and Mid-West states projected to be more Democratic leaning than the exclusive Republican support the GOP enjoys now. Same transformation is taking place slowly, but surely in the states (especially in West) that usually votes Democrats.
So does he have a chance at winning that district? I haven't been paying much attention to the House or Senate race as I think the status-quo stays the same. GOP may lose some seat in the House, but they should retain the majority status and same goes for Democrats in the Senate.

the thing about the left-coast states is that the liberals are mostly concentrated on the coast where the big cities (SF, LA, Seattle) are. The inner part of the state are more conservative.
