Eight lousy votes! Bah!
I wonder what the GOP will do now??
BTW ... is King County the only county they will be digging for votes?
Yeah, that! I wonder if Hallmark has the greeting card on their website yet.

I wouldn't be embarrassed now, I was referring to the lead up to the current results.
The party with the largest balls wins this game.
**I guess that this means we go to a revote.**
That, I think, would be wise, because the dims would not get out and vote like they did in the general election while the Republicans would!
Revote!
Revote!
Eight: Jesus, New beginnings. Seven is complete then the 8th is the new one. Seven days is the completed week the eight day is the new week. Jesus resurrected on the eight day (Sunday) of the week to reveal the New relationship with man. The Hebrew male children are circumcised the eight day for a new (old-covenant) relationship with God. The disciple Thomas didn't believe the first day of the Resurrection of Jesus but on the 8th day it was a new day for the new belief of Thomas in the resurrected Jesus.
Let's get back to Washington State politics.
The Democrats will never go for that, because they have achieved their goal. The only option is to force the issue by recalling this woman immediately.
Man, would that be sanctimonious and boring.
If God's a Just God, it'll be beer, pinball and Lab Retrievers for eternity! Not endless Sunday School with Ned.
That is certainly doable and fun too! Or we might end up with a run-off because the process has been so tainted. If we don't give up we will win.
That would only have given the Dims a larger margin of voctory. The 8-vote margin was plan-B. Someone should do a statistical analysis of these "recounts". I would bet that 90%+ over the past 30 years have favored the Dims.
The most interesting posts on this thread have nothing to do with the topic. ;~D
It was predictable, and predicted. King county found enough "votes" to just barely make up the difference.
This might be just the thing to make a big difference, finally. The Cedar County movement almost got some steam a couple elections ago, and something like this might just push it over the edge. Eastern King County (basically everything east and north of Seattle) tried once before to secede from King County and create "Cedar" county.
This might just do it.
Indeed.
ROFL!!!!!!!!
My child may be in public school, but early dismissal tomorrow is for Christmas vacation and at the school board meeting I attended tonight. The Pledge was also said and then a prayer and an additional prayer and moment of silence for a 2nd grader who died of a heart attack in class last week. And everyone wished each other a Merry Christmas at the end.
Ug....at this point I don't care who wins. Just end it.
It isn't perhaps an essential element, but there are very few Cedars in Eastern King county.
