I think it's going to take a recall.

I'm with you.

OK, an awful lot of people owe me $50 each. I put my money on Gregoire stealing the election weeks ago. Pay up!

Who among us thought Gregoire was acting in good faith? Me either.

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.

In Washington you can only recall a Governor for malfeasance while in office -- not being a cheat to get into office. She's got to do something illegal while in office for a recall petition to be allowed - it's very different than in California. Our recall law is a very tough nut to crack here -- short of her breaking the law while she's sitting as governor, not before -- there's no legal means to start a recall without her first committing malfeasance in office.
