Gregoire receives death threat
By David Ammons
OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Patrol is keeping close watch over both Gov. Christine Gregoire and her Republican rival, Dino Rossi, after Gregoire received a death threat and emotions over the contested election continue to run high.
Gregoire told reporters today she received a death threat and that she plans to keep a lid on publicizing her movements outside the heavily guarded Capitol and Governor's Mansion.
Rossi has around-the-clock protection.
"I'm going to honor it when the chief of the state patrol says that for my personal security, we need to maintain some procedures," Gregoire said, referring to the blackout on releasing a detailed schedule.
"Give me six months. Allow me these six months."
She said she got a death threat, but added: "I'm not going to be deterred by any of that. I got death threats, frankly, when I was attorney general. I've got a job to do, but I'm also going to be smart (about security considerations). I owe that to the citizens of the state and I will listen to the chief of the state patrol."
She said blamed "the level of discussion on some of these talk radio shows" for whipping up people.

What a bag of dirt.
I don't believe a word of it.
Would Chrissy call it staged?
Well, no kidding. Emotions better KEEP running high until somebody goes to jail and the governor's job is handed over to its rightful (twice) winner. The stolen election in Washington is a national disgrace. Totally unacceptable.
Probably made up for sympathy.
It's talk radio hosts who get the death threats.
Man these NAZI liberals are so transparent
Setting the stage for the next election I see.
Idiot...
I'm telling!
Weak. Weak. She'll never get anywhere within her party, nationally, with hasty, amateurish snap responses such as those.
Longtime 'Rat operators know you're always supposed to blame the Jews first, whenever possible.
She said she got a death threat, but added: "I'm not going to be deterred by any of that. I got death threats, frankly, when I was attorney general. I've got a job to do, but I'm also going to be smart
Not going to be deterred? Why has she quit putting out her schedule? What a joke. And she's going to be smart? Sure hope she will be smarter than when she was Attorney General and cost the people of the state millions of dollars.
:(
She must be having a "change of office" moment. Pity we'll have to endure these for the next four years.
who knows? tomorrow the judge rules on the overwhelming evidence of a bad election. if justice is blind he will do the right thing and void the election.
Get used to it, baby. You will have no honeymoon.
"...(How do you say 'Berkeley California' in Aramaic?)
It's easy! Just say: "We're not as smart as Cal-Tec, but we're further left than Notre Dame!"
That's enough piss-offs for tonight! Stay well, pally................FRegards
Man arrested was named Jeff Martelli from Yakima county, who made the threat against her and her children on Jan 19.
Politicians get death threats all the time ( I would imagine Gov.`s get them quite alot ). What makes her so special she has to announce it to the media. There has to be a plan behind all this. Something is definitely up.
