We didn’t plan to cover Washington’s Senate race or the fight for the WA-08 Congressional district when we launched our 2006 Election Wiki. Back then, neither race was close enough to be considered a “toss-up,” so we turned our attention elsewhere.

Today, the Senate race in Washington still seems securely within the grasp of the Democrats; pollsters say Maria Cantwell (D) will hold the lead with 9:1 odds. But the WA-08 race recently tightened up. Now Incumbent Dave Reichert (R) has only a slight lead over Darcy Burner (D). Luckily, local contributors Zentalon and Emmettoconnell have us covered. They’ve added a WA-08 page and put up a beautiful map of the district along with a hefty selection of local blogs backing each candidate.

If there’s a hot race in your area that’s not on our list, follow Emmett and Zentalon’s lead. Just email greta radioopensource org and I’ll walk you through it.
