King County, the Fat Lady has finished singing and it looks like Gregroire wins by 8 votes. It could be more if all votes are allowed to be counted and not overlooked as the Rossi camp wants. Too bad all those high fiveing white guys from kent, Eastern Washington and bug tussel celebrated pre-maturely. They must have forgotten that this is a blue State where the fat lady rules. I can see um packing and heading for red necksville,ie., Texas and Alabama, Mississippi etc., with Rory and Elvis in tow. All because they just can't stand having liberals dishing out rules and not the Christian Right.

Anyway, maybe things want be so scary down at the fishing hole with so many packing.

KIRO is reporting that the supreme court has ruled the contested votes can be counted.

In this case 8 less than half would probably argue that this is a red state.

I might be going out on a limb here, but I am guessing that if Dino pulls this out you will be heading for San Francisco or Canada... Seems like your statement is sort of a pot and the kettle type of thing.

So true Aunty !

I like Chrissy G s remarks about a virtual tie.Too bad she couldnt be true to her word.And there being a way for them to work together as co governors.Could you imagine that .Rs and Ds working together for our state.I think they could do things that are unimaginable.

This whole thing wont be decided for months.And will only go to drive a bigger wedge between the parties.

Washington State is a blue state baby and with the supreme court allowing more votes to be counted I still say it was a bit pre-mature to be high fiveing until every vote was counted. Thank God this isn't Ohio, where things got fixed and corrupted and currently under investigation.

JLH..so should the military votes not counted by no fault of the soldiers be counted?

and you wonder why this state has been screwed up for sooooo long?

GP: Any valid ballot that arrived or was postmarked by the required deadline should be counted. Even if some dolt put the tray out of sight for a few days.

I believe that's what the UNANIMOUS decision of the Supreme Court said.

It's really pretty simple. Count all the valid votes. Yes, even in "red" counties. Oh yeah, they did that in several red counties, and no one complained. Remember all the additional Rossi votes that showed up in red counties? I have no problem with that. We have been through all the processes, as spelled out in our election laws. Tomorrow someone should concede. If that’s Chris, so be it.

Can you imagine how crazy Vance would be if the dems were doing all the suing and threatening to sue? Remember the Democratic spokesman told us this is God’s will. Isn’t that god enough for you?

I'm more concerned for the screwing the neo-cons are doing to America's backside. Hard to believe, but in 4 years a trillion dollar surplus has turned to a trillion dollar deficit. Hello! Some of you don't give a rat's arse, as long as the Confederacy gets it's revenge by destroying America for winning the Civil War and freeing the slaves.

I wish all the votes were counted throughout the Country including all the disenfranchised monorities in Ohio and Florida as well as the military votes that were not counted. It an't over till the last vote is counted. No more electronically fix election. No one wants to talk about it, but we all saw that elephant take a dump on our democracy last election.

JLH,
You are right on the money, the republicans added 150,000 votes the first count for bush . Not 250 over 3 recounts, in a largely democratic county that was hand counted twice. Definately the same, BTW I have a bridge forsale.. You interested?
