Don't know if you're talking to me or the other person. But I have a home in a similar district, and am involved in that community. It is one of VERY VERY FEW districts in which I'd say that leaning right is the correct approach, as much as I HATE IT and it is NOT a national strategy!
I'm talking to the other person. I'm in Seattle, but I followed Gluesenkamp Perez's race (and her voting record) closely last 2 elections. I happen to agree w/you (smart for her, *NOT a national strategy!*), but I'm always more interested in what actual district voters have to say.
