After losing the first two counts in Washington's closest-ever race for governor, it appears Democrat Christine Gregoire has pulled even with — or possibly overtaken — Republican Dino Rossi on the final day of a contentious statewide manual recount.
King County, the last to complete the recount, is not expected to release new vote totals until this afternoon. But state Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt said last night the party's calculations indicate that, with virtually all of the votes tallied, Gregoire is ahead by eight votes.

Barbraf*ckinstreisand! Will you allow this to stand?
The entire nation awaits the 'R' response today.
BS!!!!!
"However," he continued, "if it turns out we are short a few hundred votes, we're confident we can manufacture new ones."
Democrats like to play fantasy and claim Republicans steal elections -- but WATCH, children, and MARVEL as the *professionals*, the *Democrats*, do it.
If she does beat Rossi, it only sounds like at least two more recounts are required.
Just a thought. I mean why should this one be definitive?
time for an investigation by the US Justice Department.
Why not call the whole thing off and do without?
It would be my guess that Washington would still be there in four years and who knows, the people may well be happier and more prosperous.
Free, and fair elections, Democrat style. Can you imagine what these people will do if and when they capture power over three branches of government again? There'll never be another non-Democrat elected again. They'll warp the "election law" so hard, the only ones who'll win will be those bought and paid for by the DNC.
Tyranny; Courtesy of you're "caring" Democrats.

PLEASE all Freepers...please STOP ...and ask all your acquaintances to STOP calling the Democrat Party their contrived Democratic Party... It is NOT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY...it is the DEMOCRAT PARTY.....the party is made up of DEMOCRATS and is thus the DEMOCRAT PARTY..it is not made up democratics...nor is it an espousal of any kind of democracy...but DEMOCRATS make up the DEMOCRAT PARTY...
the Republican Party is a party made up of Republicans therefore it is the Republican Party...It is NOT the REPUBLICANISTIC PARTY just as the DEMOCRAT PARTY is NOT the Democratic Party
Please correct this 500 million times a year repeated spin.

I take it Washington is still using the old Chicago-style chad system?
Yes, the Democrats put this out a few years ago and told us how offended they were. I agree with them. Since the Democrats and democracy have nothing in common they are not worthy of the nickname Democratic
I agree. This is a personal pet peeve of mine as well.

Now, now.....those aren't the rules! The rules are that we keep recounting the votes until the 'Rat wins. Then, it's a done deal and no more recounts are necessary.
WE need a thread ..and the ping list..
O.K.....you've got it!
