Calling TIA and other DU Smartypantses.....
WA final recount gives Gregore a win by 130 votes. The first count gave it to Rossi by 240 (?). I know this looks like a small amount on the face of it, 370 votes, but both candidates gained votes in the recount correct? If you used the WA numbers as a control, what would Ohio's #'s be after a recount. (I know this is a 'flawed' comparison, but you know, just for *hits and giggles...)

1. I won't even try to analyze that.

I'm going to stick to the real juice.

240 votes?

Bush stole millions. 51-48 Kerry morphed to 48-51.

The biggest crime of the century?
No. Only the second biggest.

The 2000 Bush theft and POTUS legitimizing the Selection was even worse.

I take that back. This one was worse. Because this time we all KNEW that he would steal it. And so did the Dems.

But what can we expect from those guys?
They're only senators and congressman.
They are not there to actually REPRESENT us, are they?
Of course not.

As Woody Allen said about not being able to get into the WASP country club:

IT'S RESTRICTED.
MEMBERS ONLY.

2. So, I assume that this is after the 700+ King County votes
were tallied? If it does include these votes, I guess I was kind of thinking Gregiore would have an even larger margin than this.
Is this information available?

3. If my math is correct
Which it well may NOT be that's probably about 58% of the ballots.

That's not too bad.

assume (based on 700): Gregoire 415 59%
Rossi 285 41%
Any others?
