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)

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.
