If a Republican were demanding recount after recount based on nothing but not liking the results I'd be embarrassed...the Democrats are shameless.

Correction. It's Grand Larceny, a felony if convicted. :)

At this point I think all the doctors and businesspeople should move out of the state. It's not safe for them anymore in Washington.

So the recounts continued until the Dems got the desired outcome?

It would seem like it was. He has enough votes and then all of sudden a story breaks saying he lost. It does seem wierd.

And they only had to find new ballots nine times to get it.

That's right. She'll say she's got political capital and she'll spend every blue cent. :)

You know what. We could call this "The Midnight Miracle" for the Democratic Party.

Democrats are trying to destroy every institution in our country.

This is blatent theft-people won't take this broad seriously. The is what Gore wanted to do in 2000. Even Dem-rats must be embarrassed by this.

i guess an 8 vote win is more believable than a 1 vote win

You're right.

A tie would have been the best result for the Democrats. That would open up all sorts of possibilities.

You noticed.

Sounds "final" doesn't it?

Yep. I'm calling it: "The Midnight Miracle." Cause that's what time it's nearing on the East Coast in New York.

well then, the only recourse left is whether they re-counted with different standards in King, then in the rest of the counties. not sure about that, I know there are some WA freepers who are more in the know about that.

but if the 561 are excluded (as they should be, regardlessof who wins), and the case cannot be made that different standards were used in this county - then the Dem win by 8 will likely stand.

Gee, I wonder where they "dug up" that margin of victory?

I'm not embarrassed by anything that makes liberals face facts. I advise Rossi to sue to have every ballot in the state manually examined.

The whole idea of manual recount is flawed; it's less accurate than a machine count. What they should do is inspect each ballot, and after divining voter intent or whatever crap they want to do, _then_ put it through the machine so the machine logs each count.

Are you kidding? The people in King County think this is the way the election really ended up, but just took this long to discover the Republican conspiracy to keep Gregoire out of office. Nationwide, she'll become a national joke.

I wonder where they found the nine votes, the toilet perhaps? If this thief actually wins, I hope the republicans watch her like a hawk and impeach her for the slightest infringement (wishful thinking on my part!).

Frankly, I find your tagline offensive.

It's too bad that they can't call it a "Christmas Present" for Gregoire and the Democrats.
