We have a Governor
CNN:
Republican Dino Rossi came out ahead of Democrat Christine Gregoire by just 42 votes Wednesday in the recount for Washington state governor, and the Democrats are expected to demand yet another recount.The contest was the United States’ last undecided race for governor.
The machine recount of 2.8 million ballots left Rossi just 42 votes ahead of Gregoire, the state attorney general. That makes it the closest governor’s race in Washington history.
Rossi had also won the original tally, but his 261-vote margin was so small it triggered an automatic recount.
Guess my vote counted.
I wonder how many legal challenges will be mounted…
This is going to be sad and ugly.
My view on a recount is simple - Gregior will demand a hand count in king county, and will probaly pull ahead. Then we have a statewide recount that puts Rossi back in and Gregior will have cost the state another cool mil from having to pay for that statewide count (Dems have to foot their own bill for the partial at least).
Give up women, do you really have to cost us more then you already have?
