Good. They don't need that lefty Gregoire screwing up Washington even further.

Rossi. Gregoire has served aa Attorney General for Washington, she is Democratic and notoriously liberal.

link? We need to be able to know these are real numbers, and the latest numbers, before I can get too excited. We've been around this tree before.

The numbers keep changing because we are 70% absentee ballots here, and they have to be MAILED by election day, not in by election day.

There are still about 150,000 votes to count. But he is ahead.

Bookmark this to follow the results: C-SPAN Washington State Results

A recount is for sure -- within one-half percent, I think. Ya'll better watch those Dims -- extra boxes of absentee ballots may appear out of someone's trunk.

You might need some "independent observers" for the recount up in Washington state.

Why are they just doing this now? Was their election last week? Or are these absentee ballots or recounts or something?
