Veepstakes talk hits Washington

It wouldn't be a real "veepstakes" without an elected official from nearly every state in the union being considered by one pundit or another trying to make a career by successfully picking a darkhorse candidate two months in advance. Sure enough the prognosticators, mostly in the blogosphere, have made their way to the Evergreen state, as chronicled by Seattle Times' David Postman.

Politics junkies from around the nation are guessing that Sen. Patty Murray and Gov. Chris Gregoire could be on a long list of potential number twos to Sen. Barack Obama for their various political skills and to balance the ticket with a woman. Even the 9th Congressional District's own Adam Smith, an early backer of the Illinois Senator, is making the rounds.

Still no word from Republicans on Attorney General Rob McKenna or Rep. Dave Reichert for Sen. John McCain, but give it time.

Get Your Prom Dress Before


Get Your Prom Dress Before the New Year!
It's barely autumn, and the winter holidays seem to be a long way away. You are getting into a routine of back-to-school: homework, tests, friends, activities, and sports. With the possible exception of college planning, next spring is probably the last thing on your mind. Why should you start thinking about a Prom Dresses when the prom is so far away?

It is not well-known by most prom-goers, that the best selections are found prior to the New Year. Prom Dresses manufacturers are already shipping Sexy Dresses to the stores in October for the upcoming prom season. By the time the prom magazines hit the news stands in December, many people will already have placed orders of Sexy Dresses for the most popular dresses. How do they come across these new designs of Prom Dresses that have yet to be in the magazines? People start searching online. As soon as manufacturer photos become available, it's no surprise to find many internet Prom Dresses retailers adding new styles on their websites in early October.

You might say, "The prom is months away in May! Isn't March enough time to find a Prom Dresses?" If you are not wanting anything in particular, the answer is yes. If you have your heart set on a particular style or color, you may be disappointed if you wait.

Why would they vanish in this way? This is because prom dresses are a very seasonal product. Manufacturers cut a certain number of dresses intended for the following spring season in late summer, and they start shipping them to stores in October. Based on initial sales, the manufacturers will tailor the more popular styles starting in February or March. By then, the stores have pending orders for these styles. Production of more Prom Dresses stops after this happens. No one wants unsold prom dresses sitting in their warehouses all summer! It is possible that some styles may be suitable for homecoming in fall, but most of the time, even they are not available until at least summer.

Many schools have winter formals in December, January, and February, which is why the most popular dresses could be sold out or on back order that early. Because Prom Dresses are on the racks early, many of them are purchased for these earlier events. Also keep in mind that Prom Dress makers sell worldwide, not just to American consumers. Many online prom dress retailers sell globally, as well. The competition for the most popular dresses is intense.
