Why Mike McGavick
Will Win
Vulnerable
Incumbent
Independent Polls continue
to
show Democrat incumbent Maria Cantwell to be extremely vulnerable:

In
their
polling snalysis released on June 22,2006, the indepl hdent polling
firm,
Rasmussen Reports, states,
..... electoral support fo r Senator Maria Cantwell
(D)
has slipped
once
again -
fo r
the
fifth survey in
a
: U .
. .. an
incre9Singly competitive U.S. Sellllte race, Senator Cantwell now leads fonner Safeco
CEO
Mike
McGavick (R)
44
to 40 , a toss-up.
In addition to the Rasmus.sen Reports poll,
the
latest ZogbyIWan Street Journal
and
Strategic Vision results
released also show McGavickwithin just
four
points of Cantwell. It was
the
sixth consecutive Strategic
Vision and second consecutive ZogbyIWall Street Journal poll that have shown Cantwell well below
Why Those
Poll
Numbers Are Important
As
the race
has
tightened
in
recent polling, Senator Cantwell's low numbers draw a striking comparison
to
historical examples
of
polling numbers of statewide incumbents
that
lost re-election bids, One common trai
of the following examples is that the incumbents who ended up losing consistently polled below 50 , where
Sen, Cantwell currently sits.

Republicans Can
Win
Washington
State
n
the 2004 race for Governor, after 2 controversial re-counts, Republican Dino Rossi came within 129
votes
of
victory after trailing 46 -17 at the beginning of the race.
This
despite the fact that John Kerry
cwried Washington 53 vs 46 . Approximately 136,000 Kerry voters also voted for Republican Dino
Rossi.
Republicans
won
2 competitive open seat Congressional races in Washington in 2004, Dave Reichert in the
8' CongressionalDistrict and Cathy McMorris in the
Congressional District
Despite Jolm Kerry's victory, RepublicanAttorney General Candidate Rob McKenna
won
statewide 53
43 over a well-funded Democratic opponent, who had the backing
of
the trial lawyers.

Strong
Fundraising
With currently over
4.4
million raised for the campaign, McGavick
is
among the top fundraising
cllilliengers in the nation. McGavick continues to set a strong fundraising pace for a statewide challenger
with over
1.
7 million raised in the 2
nd
Quarter and a strong base
of
contributors rom all over
Washington State.
No dher political challenger in the
history
of Washington State has ever raised more donations from
fellow citizens through this point
of
their campaign than McGavick.
In
addition, McGavick has
collected nearly
70 /0
of his donations
from
Washington residents, while Senator Cantwell, on the other
hand, has only raised 42%
of
her donations
rom
Washingtonians.
What Others are Saying about
Mike
McGavick
f
Washington's u.s. Senate campaign were a boxing match, the
early
rounds ar e going to
Republican
Mike McGavick.
He is behaving like a well-organized, aggressive challenger.
Who is
running
the
better campaign? The
edge goes to McGavick.
-Editorial
The
Seattle
Times, July
16,
2006
The open seat in Minnesota
and
Maria Cantwell's seat in Washington State are the Democrat's biggest
vulnerabilities.
.. .
But Cantwell is beginning to look more vulnerable than she'd ever expected to be,
Holding her seat may bemore difficult for Democrats than holding their open seat in Minnesota,., ,

.... ,to
the
slightly
improved
climate benefiting
the GOP's best
Senate challenger
in
the
country
(Mike McGavick), there's reason for renewed optimism
among
Republicans With
the
climate
improving ever-so-slightly for the GOP, and with Cantwell unable to capitalize on voter angst over Iraq,
McGavick's chances get a slight boost But right now, we can 't imagine ever viewing any other
Democratic incumbent as more vulnerable than Cantwell.

Four candidate. in particular have caught our attention: Mike McGavick
in
Washington, Mike
Bouchard in Michigan, Pete Ricketts in Nebraska
and John
Raese

The cream of
