The losers lose big this week with illegal infants, electile dysfunction and one U.S. Representative that just can’t catch a break. Here are the Winners & Losers for June 6, 2008.

Winners

Losers

Barack Obama

The presidential candidate clinches the democratic title and earns some superdelegate switches, picking up former Clintonistas Norm Dicks, Jay Inslee, Gary Locke and Ron Sims as well as DNC member David McDonald.

Dave Reichert

The U.S. Representative can’t catch a break –a bad joke about Hillary in a place crash, his seat ranked as a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, and abuse of “franked mail,” official congressional mail that looks a lot like a campaign flier at taxpayer expense.

Chris Gregoire

The governor is mentioned on several lists as a possible first female president, vice-president, or as an Obama appointment to Secretary of Energy.

babies

Children of undocumented immigrants have their citizenship challenged by the state Republican Party, which opposes the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Dan Swecker

The State Senator from Rochester is back in action after successful heart surgery to replace his aorta valve.

Voters & Political Parties

Nobody likes the top-two primary. Nobody.

Quote of the Day

November 21, 2008

"Even though everything went the D way, the House managed to pick up some seats. They canʼt just run over us with the budget because if they do they wonʼt have any checks or balances. They want those checks and balances, I think."

- State Rep. Richard DeBolt (R), the incoming state House minority leader, on the Republicans' role in the chamber.
