Judicial Election Results – WA Primary 2008

Posted on 20 August at

However, it just occurred to me that blog readers might not be aware of that. So here it is -

Here is how the results shake out:

The liberals won both Supreme Court seats, sixty-one and fifty-nine percent. The same goes for both the Appellate Court seats, sixty-four and fifty-three percent. That is going to send a harmful ripple against out Constitution and law for quite a distance.

King County Position 1:
Two will be going to the polls in November. They are Tim Bradshaw (46%) and Suzanne Parisien (30%). We still recommend TIM BRADSHAW.

King County Position 10:
Two for November are Regina Cahan (43%) and Les Ponomarchuck (27%). We still recommend LES PONOMARCHUK.

King County Position 22:
Two for November are Julia Garratt (35%) and Holly Hill (34%). We still recommend JULIA GARRATT.

King County Position 26 and 53 were won by the liberals.

King County Position 37:
Two in a DEAD HEAT for November are Jean Rietschel (38%) and Barbara Mack (38%). This is not just a dead finish race but these are both pro-death candidates. However, there are huge differences that we see in the effect of these evils. So, we are still reluctantly but strongly recommending JEAN RIETSCHEL.

Pierce County Position 9 went to the least liberal candidate Michael Hecht. The incumbent has done serious damage to the law and public respect for the bench. Michael Hecht should be a noticeable improvement.

Snohomish County Position 6:
Two for November are George Appel (40%) and Joseph Wilson (37%). We still recommend GEORGE APPEL. However, we caution all voters who believe he is a conservative – there is a difference between being a conservative and having conservative connections.

Snohomish County Position 8 went to the very liberal Eric Lucas (52%). Our man and fellow conservative, Dave Hulbert, fought a valiant effort to regain this seat. We hope he runs again.

Spokane County Positions 1 and 10 fell both to liberal candidates. We hope our fellow conservative, David Stevens, will run again.

Benton, Franklin Counties Position 1:

Two for November are Bruce Spanner (41%) and Salvador Mendoza (35%). We still recommend BRUCE SPANNER.

Benton, Franklin Counties Position 5 was won by our pick, Vic Vandershoor (58%).

Clark County Positions 2 and 5 were won by the more liberal candidates, seventy and fifty-eight percent.

Grant County Position 2 was won by our pick, John Knodell (64%).

Island County Position 2 was won by the perennial and liberal Vicki Churchill (72%).

Kitsap County Position 1:
Two for November are Jeanette Dalton (43%) and Bruce Danielson (33%). We still recommend BRUCE DANIELSON.

Lincoln County Position 1:
Two for November are John Strohmaier (39%) and Joshua Grant (35%). We still recommend JOHN STROHMAIER.

Mason County Position 1:
Two for November are Amber Finlay (40%) and John Goodell (32%). We still recommend DAN GOODELL.

Mason County Position 2 was won by the more liberal candidate.

San Juan County Position 1 was won by our pick, John Linde (63%).

Thurston County Position 3 was won by the more liberal candidate. Position 7 was won by our pick, the least liberal.

Walla Walla Position 1 was won by our pick, John Lohrmann (58%). However, just because he professes to be a Christian, don’t assume he has a solid foundation in biblical and Constitutional law.

Whatcom County Position 3 was won by our pick, Chuck Snyder (65%). I have never know any Chuck Snyder to have less than the highest integrity and ethics. Don’t let us down on this one, Chuck.

Yakima County Position 5 was won by our pick, David Elofson (56%).

AT THIS TIME, I would like to thank every participant in this blog [this was hosted at theReaganWing.com] for their comments, corrections and suggestions – even those who do not agree with us (but I do especially thank those who came to our defense and those who thanked us publicly). You are all what make this happen and make it interesting.

THANK YOU – from cominus.

    Solomon wrote there will be no end of the writing of books. If he lived now, he would decry the endless cacophony of electronic verbiage. Page after page of endless, mindless tripe. People selling something; people saying something. No body reading anything! If the page doesn't have pictures, [click] the viewer is gone. Everyone is looking for entertainment. No one is looking for substance. But we keep on writing and we think someone will read it. Oh, how we deceive ourselves -- convinced of our own immortality. Words, words, words . . . - cominus
