jenkFunny how this sign has been spotted in Yakima but not in Seattle, eh?
Photo from here. According to Rossi's campaign spokeswoman, the sign wasn't created by the campaign and doesn't reflect Rossi's views.
It does seem to me that if some Rossi supporters are trying to get folks in (traditionally D) Seattle* to not vote so that the (traditionally R) Eastern Washingtonians will carry the state, I think they need to change their tactics.
*By Seattle, I suspect they actually mean King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. These three at "stacked" together in Western Washington (Snohomish to the north, Pierce to the south, and King sandwiched between them). Together they have 48% of the state's population and 6 of the 10 most populous cities in the state. Elections here tend to focus on the big 3 counties vs the rest of the state. Often the tipping point - to either side - is provided by other counties in Western WA or turnout rates.
