Sen. Patty Murray has won a fourth term, riding a wave of strong Democratic support in King County to defeat Republican challenger Dino Rossi.
As of Thursday evening, Murray was leading Rossi by more than 45,000 votes, taking 51 percent to Rossi's 49 percent. That's up from a 14,000-vote lead on Election Day.
According to a Seattle Times analysis, Rossi would need to get about 54 percent of the estimated 591,000 uncounted ballots statewide to overcome Murray's lead.
But nearly 264,000 of those ballots are in King County. Murray's already commanding lead there has only expanded since Election Day. She took 68 percent of the 69,000 King County ballots counted Thursday.
To overcome King County's heavy support for Murray, Rossi would have to take about two-thirds of the remaining ballots in the rest of the state. So far he's received 53.2 percent of those non-King County votes.
That makes Rossi's task virtually impossible, even though hundreds of thousands of ballots remain to be counted statewide.

I’ve been saying the same thing.
The paper didn’t declare the winner, they ‘called’ or ‘projected’ the winner based on simple math, and knowing where the outstanding ballots are from ... Rossi should stick it out till all the ballots are counted, but it’s gone almost beyond the point that he could possibly win.
Blame goes to the voters. I am not feeling a lot of sympathy for the folks in WA, any more than those in CA or NV or CO.
“Sorry to say, this result was never in doubt.”
I agree...
Mail-in Voter Fraud decided this race before it ever started.
Dino Rossie is like Doug Forrester of NJ... always running, never winning.
I’d like to say always a bridesmaid, never a bride but they’re both against gay marriage.... so there.
Thank goodness we have an all “R” legislature now. I’m hoping for big things.
Dino, it’s been a real slice.
They don’t call WA “California Clone” for nothing :(
moonbatty patty.
I would wait until we have confirmation from the candidate. Sorry, I don’t trust the Seattle Times.
Just like MA three “cities” i.e. slums threw the vote 4:1 D.
Boston, Worcester and Springfield.
We all get f*****D by Voter Fraud.
I’m glad Toomey won too. That was a big one for me. He was my congressman for 6yrs and I helped with his first campaign. Great guy.
Huh?? You blame Rossi because of braindead voters?? Evidently, Washington is just giddy over Patty. What a pathetic bunch of voters. spit
You think it’s voter fraud and not just...what’s the phrase...being f*cking idiots?
If so, then Rossi needs to find another line of work, and the GOP needs to look for younger blood. If a GOP candidate couldn’t win this year, then he just can’t win—period.
Maybe Osama can come to Seattle and build some of those day-care centers Patty’s so fond of.
Drooling idiots.
The dem-controlled WA gov’t implemented vote-by-mail to favor the loafers/parasites. King Co. is projecting 71.5% “turn out.” I wonder if Murray would have won if people actually had to go to the polls.
This is only a “call,” a “projection.” It doesn’t mean a damned thing.
But, I’m going to assume the locals know the precincts and voting trends for them pretty well. How likely is it, really, that King County will suddenly come up with a majority of Rossi votes? About as much as the Upper West Side of Manhattan was going to go for Paladino.
Like I have said all along, Rossi is a lousy campaigner and listening to him speak is painful. One of the few politicians with less charisma than Patty Murray.
Well the fact that Gay State voters are effin’ idiots was NEVER in doubt!
Sorry, I thought that was a “given”!
But we are sending that mopey-eyed retard back to the Senate.
Go figure....
