My point is, from a "PR" stand point, Republicans can loose some face for seeming to drag out the gubernatorial election. While I'm not a big believer in "polls" and the like, popular opinion is often what drives elections, and this could potentially case Republicans to fall out of favor with potential voters and cause elections that may have gone Republican to "go Democrat". I was just trying to say that while I think it's great that voter fraud is being investigated, it could turn out to be a bad move. BUT I in no way meant to implicate, imply, allege, or otherwise allude to any Republican voter fraud and apologize if such was the tone.

You may be right. I guess only time will tell. It is my opinion, however, that this is the right move to make. Submitting to this kind of fraud by the Democrats is a mistake. I believe it encourages more of the same bad behaviour, gives our opponent a stronger base and demoralizes some in our Party.

The Democrats choose to believe, or at least claim to believe and continue to promote, the idea that voter fraud was a strategy used by the Republican Party. I believe we have no choice now but to prove them wrong.

Polls in the state of WA indicate that the majority of voters do not believe that Gregoire legitimately won the election.
