Cleanup[edit]

This page needs to be cleaned up from the current bulleted list it has now. Also, I feel like it could use an NPOV scrub. It just doesn't feel like an encyclopedia article. Velvetsmog 12:30, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this had already been done. I did my best to finish it up. I think it's pretty clean now. Pudge 16:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DUI[edit]

His DUI has so far been the biggest story of the election.

Polls[edit]

How about removal of the polls section? It seems inappropriate for Mike McGavick's page as the polls are more reflective of the Senate Race, not Mike as a person. --Bobblehead 21:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well there are polls on the Maria Cantwell and Gregoire pages.

--8bitJake 21:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They have approval rating polls, which is appropriate for standing politicians. McGavicks polls are redundant and incomplete in comparison to the polls on the Senate race page. --Bobblehead 04:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But he is a standing politician. --8bitJake 15:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No he is not, he's attempting to get elected, but if he wins, this will be his first eelcted position. However, a more correct way of me saying it is that Maria Cantwell and Christine Gregoire have polls on their pages because they are approval ratings, which are only appropriate for elected officials. --Bobblehead 02:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the polls duplicate what is on the race page, they don't need to be here. Chadlupkes 05:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Say b'bye to the poll section. They are redundant and incomplete to the polls on the senate race page. --Bobblehead 05:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well by that rational I guess I could take the polls off the Governor Gregoire and Senator Cantwell pages as well.--8bitJake 16:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I've mentioned a couple of times, the polls on Gov. Gregoire and Sen. Cantwell are not election polls, they are approval ratings. Well, the one on Gregoire's is. Cantwell's are election results. Once this election is over, then McGavick's page can be updated with the results of the Senatorial election. Until then, the appropriate place for polls related to the Senatorial race is in the Senatorial Election article. --Bobblehead 20:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to mention that Rasmussen is an internet poll, whereas the Democratic press-reselased one is (basically) a average of all polls for one-two month period. OB-rad 20:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info.. Not sure why you posted it here or to which democratic press-released one you're talking about, but it's good info to have none the less. :) --Bobblehead 20:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
