Washington Senate Race 2010

Washington Senate Race 2010: The race between Dino Rossi and incumbent Patti Murray was quite remarkable. Washington elections are the hardest to call because they only allow mail-in votes. This means that it takes time to actually compile the results and report them - and estimating a time frame to have the results ready to be certified is difficult, at best.

However, Rossi conceded last night and incumbent Patty Murray will go on to represent the people of Washington State, avoiding another GOP turnover in what has become an election full of such.

Murray will join Harry Reid, Michael Bennet, and other Senate incumbents that were lucky enough to keep their jobs.

Now that the Washington Senate Race 2010 is concluded we are one step closer to having a new Washington in January.

Washington Senate Race 2010: Murray vs Rossi Results & Polls Close

Washington Senate Race 2010: Patty Murray vs Dino Rossi is one of the nation's tightest polls. Washington State is also the most difficult state to determine the outcome of the race, as the ballots are mail-in only. That means that Washington voters must have their ballots in by tomorrow or risk not being counted.

Patty Murray, the Democratic incumbent could win the race. She's favored in last minute polls, although the margin of error and undecided voters could flip in favor of Dino Rossi. Every seat is crucial to the democrats and the GOP, as a 50/50 senate would bring in Joe Biden for the deciding vote.

Murray has painted Rossi as "too conservative" on issues including abortion, and Rossi has painted Murray as "fiscally irresponsible" especially considering that Murray has spent $15 million on the campaign as opposed to Rossi's $2.5 million.
