1. Good for Democrats!

Gregoire leads by 10

By David Postman and Ralph Thomas

Seattle Times staff reporters


Dino Rossi's bid to become Washington's first Republican governor in two decades unraveled in a big way yesterday.

After winning the first two counts in the state's closest race ever, Rossi fell behind Democrat Christine Gregoire by 10 votes in what was supposed to be the final day of an unprecedented statewide manual recount.

And he could drop even more after the state Supreme Court yesterday rejected a Republican attempt to block King County from reconsidering more than 700 ballots that the county said had been mistakenly disqualified.

The county canvassing board will meet today to decide which of the disputed ballots will be counted.

The extra ballots in King County -- a Democratic stronghold -- are expected to favor Gregoire, and likely will hand her the "governor-elect" title that Rossi has worn for more than a month.

6. EXACTLY what the Thugs said the dems should NOT do before

all votes were counted. Offer no challenge to them. "Now that WE have the lead, YOU should capitulate!" Disenfranchise voters solely for the purpose of the getting a 'win'

What laughable, hypocritical LOSERS.

Eat our shorts, Thugs.
