Okay... I've been following this close WA governor race... Rossi had been ahead, albeit by just a few hundred votes, but all of a sudden, just in the past 30 minutes, Gregoire all of a sudden pulls ahead by 15,000.

Now, I know that they're still counting absentee ballots and may count provisionals, but this is the exact same scenario as in 2000 with the Cantwell/Gorton senate race, where Gorton eventually lost by just a few hundred votes.

This is one to keep an eye on... as a Washingtonian of almost 5 years now, it'd be delightful to have a (R) governor for a change!

We remain in hope and prayer that Dino wins! BMP
