"Not all public school districts are evil incarnate."

It's usually the ones in the real urban areas that soil the reputation for the good districts.

"the 2004 election is headed to a five of seven series. Popcorn, peanuts..."

No, kidding.

Yes, you have to wait until she's in office, but the standard is merely "misfeasance", which could be pretty much anything.

[B Knotts]

Please note, the standard is merely "misfeasance." That won't be hard to meet.

Who knows. I know how corrupt the MSM is but for all the screaming from Olbermann and the like about vote fraud I just cannot believe that they are not in WA right now demanding answers.

We now officially have a blue state media. The crowning occured during the CBS document scandal that STILL has not reached a conclusion.

Why do some people still put up with the Dem/MSM (same thing)crap. Unreal.

"Too bad Washington can't be split into two states. The western third could be one state and the remaining two-thirds another. Of course, we all know what would ultimately happen if that occurred. The libs would start moving out of the western state into the eastern state to escape the high taxes, crime, etc., and the eastern state would then get ruined (just as Massachusetts commies are ruining New Hampshire)."

Believe it or not, this idea was talked about in regards to the 51st state, forming the Idaho panhandle, Eastern Washington, and Eastern Oregon. The same thing would happen.

Thanks for the ping. Eight votes?! I haven't read this whole thread, but your post sounds like this is not yet set in stone. Good luck - may Rossi yet prevail.

[1Old Pro]

UGH, count until you get the result you want I suppose.

The libs would start moving out of the western state into the eastern state to escape the high taxes, crime, etc., and the eastern state would then get ruined (just as Massachusetts commies are ruining New Hampshire)."

Just like upstate NY ius being ruined by downstaters. Liberals just want to spread misery, that's why they embrace socialism.

----First, GWB did NOT steal the 2000 election and regardless of the WA governor's race, we are way way way ahead.----

Regardless of the Washington governor's race?! Geez, I'M boiling mad about this all the way down here in Louisiana; I can only imagine how the Washington Freepers who are gonna be subjected to this unelected bitch (if she pulls it off, and she hasn't yet) must feel!

No, we are not ahead as long as the Democrats are allowed to steal elections as they please, right in the open for the whole country to see. No matter how far ahead we are in sheer numbers, we will not hold an advantage unless we stop the Dems EVERY TIME they try to pull this crap. There are at least three sitting Democrat senators who owe their seats to fraud: Tim Johnson in SD, Frank Lautenberg in NJ (his entire candidacy was illegal), and Mary Landrieu right friggin' here. And with what's going on in WA now, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find that Maria Cantwell's 2000 victory over Slade Gorton was the result of funny business. Who knows how many Democrat congressmen are in there due to fraud! And now they're trying to overturn a gubernatorial election and install one of their own to head up an entire STATE? No, dammit!

INSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRAT VOTE FRAUD WILL CONTINUE AS LONG AS THE REPUBLICANS CONTINUE BOWING TO IT. They CAN be stopped, if we fight; had we not fought, George W. Bush would not have been our president. I want to see the Washington GOP FIGHT because Washingtonians, and Americans, must retain the right to CHOOSE THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT!

Yep. Identical to that. Socialism spreads misery to all evenly, regardless of age, sexual orientation, race, or ethnic origin.

In their version of "Up on the Housetop," welfare Santa hands out equally portioned lumps of coal, saying, "More socialism for all, and to all a miserable night."

[Semi Civil Servant]

The Democrats have been pulling this "hold back counting one big Democrat county" stunt forever. Where the Republicans hold the statehouse and governorship, they should pass a law requiring a deadline on the vote counting. Over time, major sanctions on "slow" counties would ensure that this variation of Democrat fraud would become much less common. On the bright side, If the Democrat win stands, it will erode the liberal stranglehold the liberals have on Washington.

Oh how awful!

It's the same in Michigan. Wayne county (heavy Dem)seems like it's always last to report.

[Theodore R.]

So is the state GOP going to fight or fold?

I would imagine that most state GOP organizations in such a predicament would "fold." After all, GOP organizations believe in outreach and diversity too.

[Theodore R.]

On the bright side, If the Democrat win stands, it will erode the liberal stranglehold the liberals have on Washington.

Maybe, maybe not. Recent history has shown that liberal voters embrace Democrats chosen in questionable elections. In fact, their Republican opponents are more likely than not to be villified as "sore losers." That was what happened in LA in 1996, when liberal voters from New Orleans secured the election of popular Sen. Mary Landrieu. Republican Woody Jenkins lost a very narrow vote to Landrieu, but his political career promptly ended.

Crooked as a dog's hind leg?

[Theodore R.]

All the school districts nevertheless embrace secular humanism. One of the worst in this regard is in the "conservative" stroghold of Plano, TX.

[Redbob]

No need to have any more recounts now that they finally got the result they wanted, eh?

Be interesting to see if the people of Washington will put up with this.

[Theodore R.]

I too think that Rossi could well win a revote, but the majority Democrats of WA State won't permit a revote. After all, they say voters already voted once, and WA is reliably Democrat from top to bottom.
