The margin stays within 2,000 votes. If Dino holds on, he would be the first Republican governor in two decades in the WA. Forza Dino! If you can find any other news, please put it on FR. Thanks.

gee glad to see that the Libertarians were helpful in this race by draining about 6 thousand votes from our team
Thanks again for being the Ralph Naders on the Right

Very interesting. Grays Harbor Co. reported, and Dino added 15 votes to his margin.

Come on Washington, the rampart of our blue invasion plans!

Not to mention our one way gate for those whiners that wish to depart the pattern and move to Canada. (once they cross the border they may have to turn right (difficult but necessary) because their brethren are further east)

Old news... same numbers as I posted on Friday. New numbers by 4PST/7EST.

[B Knotts]

Wrong. In this race, the (urban) (lesbian) Libertarian took votes away from the Democrat.

[CedarDave]

I bet the Pubbie candidate would like to have President Bush's current lead in NM: 6,153 votes.

Looking at Arnold here in Kalifornia, what is there about "Republican" fiscal policies which deserve the support of Libertarians?

[B Knotts]

No. These are new. Grays Harbor Co. reported some votes, and the lead is now 1935, instead of 1920.

[alessandrofiaschi]

Where did you posted these numbers? :-))

Bye,

Alex

[connectthedots]

Actually, they are not the same as on Friday.

[jocko12]

Have they counted the dead Indian vote yet.

Keep an eye on suicide rates in Seattle...

What do you think of Libertarian principles? Do you think the GOP should adopt them, or at least move closer to the Libertarian position?

[eeman]

It does not look like King County has updated since Friday. On Friday's update from King County, Rossi's lead was knocked down to a few hundred votes.

I am hopeful about Rossi, but anxious. In 2000, Cantwell was able to pull ahead at the last moment based on the last votes counted in King County.

[RKV]

Same can be said for Arnold's understanding of the 2nd Amendment - which is that the state can ban guns. UGGGG.

[vox_freedom]

Close to 2,000 vote lead for Dino.

There still is one precinct out in NM? What is taking so long? Sounds though like Bush has won it by a tiny margin but those results have not been certified just yet.

I truly believe that Libertarians should work within the R party to try to at least get some of their positions on the table. A Former Libertarian now Republican congressman still has Libertarian leanings but finds it easier to work within the party. I once was a Libertarian now i am a Republican and feel that this is the best way to go.
