It is a joke. If any situation ever demanded a revote, it is this one.
"So if they can't yet be counted how does anybody know this?"
They don't. They're probably running with it anyway and can quickly retract it if it goes the other way.
"Gee. Eight votes. And it's already, without question, a "win!""
No, no, no....according to Gregoire (after the machine recount)it's a tie. Rossi had a 40+ vote lead, but according to Gregoire is was a "virtual tie." So if she has "won" by 8 votes....then it, by her logic, is another tie.
Logical huh?
Looks like a mandate!
What is wrong with you..can't you see that this is not only a win..but a mandate..jeez...(sarcasm off)
There's always: http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/books/electivedecisions.shtml
Wait, that's fiction.
What about the courts? Is there anything left to be ruled on?
Well, if recent history is any barometer, they will not have the 'nads to take this to court, demand a recount, etc.
More than likely they will just cry.
Yeah...."mandate" for election REFORM in THIS state!!! But, if we end up with a Dem Governor...that will NOT happen......and the corruption will continue.
This had to happen. There wasn't anyone who wanted to see the Demorats party chairman cry again. The last time was enough to make ya puke.
Yeah, right.
As if anyone believe she "won". Most people know this is theft here in WA.
This MUST be a joke...
So which media outlet was the first to demand that Rossi concede?
Then she'll claim a mandate from the voters.

"If Gregoire gets away with this, and when I encounter dems, in person and online, who say that Bush stole this past election, I'm just going to say to them, "Well, Gregoire stole the WA governorship, so we're even-steven!"
We're not even steven. Bush never stole anything. He won three recounts. Gregoire, on the other hand, one the third recount quite suspiciously with questionable votes suddenly appearing as if Ali Baba had pulled them out of a hat.
Now come the Republican lawsuits to make sure every vote is counted like they were in King County. If I'm not mistaken, King County counted by a different set of rules....not allowed under the ruling of Bush v. Gore. I see this one tied up for a long time with Rossi eventually pulling it out.
I believe not; the restraining order prevents them from counting those. We may find out tomorrow if they will be counted later.
i guess an 8 vote win is more believable than a 1 vote win
That's right. She's got political capital and she's gonna spend every tax dollar of it. You can bet on that one.

Her governorship will be the end of the Democratic Party in the United States. People know how to deal with this.
