| Description | Republicans have hailed Cathy McMorris of Washington’s 5th District as a rising star since she won an open House seat in 2004 by an unexpectedly wide margin.
This image — and the strong Republican leanings of her district, which sprawls across a heavily rural stretch of eastern Washington — have influenced perceptions of McMorris’ bid this year for a second term, in which she is heavily favored.
Yet McMorris has an active Democratic opponent in rancher and molecular biologist Peter J. Goldmark, and he is working hard to dispel the notion that McMorris is a shoo-in this November. The increasing visibility of Goldmark’s campaign has prompted CQPolitics.com to change its rating on the race to Republican Favored from Safe Republican. |
