Thanks for the ping. This is good news, but there will be hell to pay if GregGore loses this election for the third and final time. Liberals blocking Christmas traffic in downtown Seattle, WTO-style demon-strations, all the stuff they're so good at.
It's bad enough having the election decided by a handful of votes. Now, whoever wins this final recount will have a tough time in Olympia.
If Rossi holds onto his lead and is inaugurated (tick tick tick eventually tick tick tick), by governing well he can overcome the useless idiots who would whine about any GOP governor.
Bush pulled it off. The useless complainers still whine, but W bumped his vote margin by over 62 million votes for the second half.
Bring it on. The WTO riots did more good for the WA GOP than anything Republicans have done in 20 years. Washington is filled with moderate "good government" types—people who believe that ideology and debate are all like icky and stuff, ew. Such people vote for Democrats by default, since as we all know the Democrats are the party of niceness and tolerance </barf>, but the more the Left does to tear away that facade the better.
