What is alarming to me is that the legislature intends to ignore the people entirely. Gov.-elect Gregoire's first appointment was to reappoint the head of the Washington National Guard. I'm beginning to smell a genuine coup in the air.

Ping.

a part of me would just let the Dems keep the Gov. Mansion hoping that this illegitimate victory will smother any power that this Dem might try to project.....but the other part of me thinks that to give them the Gov. Titile is asking for trouble.

I still think that the Dems have won the political battle for the Gov. race - even if they won it with imagined votes.......but I also think that the public knows that this race was won by cheating. I say save the candidate and use him for a Senate race --- ala like Daschle's seat

What seems odd to me is that Rossi won many of these districts (albeit some by small margins) and there seem to be a disproportionate number of Dem legislators.

What gives?

Is it a case of ticket-splitting by voters...or did the GOP run poor candidates for office?

Anyone?

This stinks so bad that I will venture a bet that you will find quite a few Democrats that will leave the party in the State of Washington. The next election will be a Republican landslide. Look what happened to the Presidential election after the 2000 Democrat stuff in Florida.

It was "funny" to see Demos like B. Boxer decrying possible "fraud" in the presidential race in OH but not saying a word about her liberal neighbors to the north in WA State possibly stealing a governor's election from the rightful winner. I bet B. Boxer is convinced beyond "reasonable dobut" that her party nominee won in WASH State!

BUMP I called an spoke for quite a long time with my Rep's aide. Its important to ask them to do something NOW about these voting regularities, not AFTER someone is installed and then found to not be the winner.
