Plus, I don't see Eastwood as having run a very good campaign. I spent a lot of time in the 1st district talking to people about the candidates, and quite frankly only 1 in 10 people I talked to could even name the Republican Candidate, let alone tell me anything about him... Seems more people outside the district knew him.
Ya know, that idea isn't half bad. The only problem is, if we got this brought up for a vote, those three counties would vote it down (it would be in the leftist's self-interest to do so) and we'd be right back at square one ;0)
Nethercut must have lost by more votes than are still outstanding, same with the Presidential race. I guess..... good question though. 36 of 39 counties in WA went for Bush, and he still lost the state. Time to break King County up........for many reasons!
CNN updates their info fairly often - the numbers continue to change - check it out. Looks like although Nethercut is a lot farther behind than Rossi, it is concievable that he could still be the winner in WA - and so could Bush!

While I'd work for and VOTE for Dr. Keyes, how the left in
Washington would try to crucify him would not be a pretty sight.
AMEN to that.
Latest updates:
Gregoire - 1,162,341
Rossi - 1,151,711
about 10,500 vote difference
Outstanding ballots (still)
416,586
6:27 update:
Gregoire 1192259 (49.00%)
Rossi 1188258 (48.84%)
Difference of 4001 !! : )
I think we're in automatic recall numers territory.
I know that about 5 minutes after my previous post, they came out with new numbers again that had a 9000 vote difference.
Most of the counties that still have outstanding ballots went for Rossi, and there's only 100K of the 400K left from King County.
So he has a good chance!!
I got the list of the remaining absentees per each county off of the state site,then I went to CNN's breakdown which shows what percentage each county voted for each candidate. Assuming each county stayed true to those voting percentages - it came out: Of the 362,246 absentees - Rossi would get 177,329, Bennett would get 7,508 and CG would get 177,409. A win by 80 votes. I hope the variables lean in our favor. The paper said that King countys absentees are running 42% for Rossi, but I used the 40% off of CNN. That alone would make the difference - in fact, the extra 2% would give Mr Rossi an extra 2380 votes.
