Washington stands out from much of the rest of the country in that it's likely to vote for John Kerry. While Kerry falls behind in other Democratic strongholds, such as New Jersey, Wisconsin and Minnesota, he hangs on in Washington.

"We're in good shape because George W. Bush isn't the kind of politician the people of Washington like," state Democratic Chairman Paul Berendt said.

"They don't like his cowboy politics, this evangelical edge he has. John Kerry is front and center on issues we care about."
