Political Northwest: A New Blog About Politics in the Northwest

Hi all! For awhile now, I have been meaning to make a blog about politics in the Northwest. Politics intrigues me, especially how people can slowly, or quickly (like this last election has shown) change from party to party. I am a resident of the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington, so in general I'll probably focus a majority of my topics on Washington State versus, Oregon, Idaho, or the Mountain West. However, if I start to get bored with my home state or the region, I'd more than enjoy discussing national politics as well.

First off, I will try to write my analysis of events, politicians, etc. as unbiased as I can. I promise not to be opinionated or show my support for certain candidates. I also promise not to turn my blog into a liberal spewing or conservative preaching forum. What I write will be my ideas, but they will be centered on the politics - what politicians do, what their re-election chances are, etc.

Anyway, either today or in the next few days, I'll be going over the changes that Washington saw during this last election cycle - one that was brutal to Democrats, but its effects were considerably more muted here in Washington and neighboring Oregon.

Thanks for reading and I hope to be able to start insightful dialogue about upcoming elections, etc. as time goes by.

-Nicholas.
