If Rossi "loses" this race through vote manufacturing, he may well get a compensatory win in a future election. John Thune of South Dakota ultimately benefitted from his questionable loss. Hope Rossi runs for a US Senate seat against Cantwell in '06.

You are sooooo right....Thune left with grace as did Ashcroft when he didn't demand a recount in the MO governor race when the widow of whats his name won. Hell, even Nixon bowed out after Kennedy even though we now know that Illinois was lost due to manufactured votes by Mayor Daly in Chicago. Republicans have a way of being much more magnanimous without the whining and crying and hand wringing that the Dems seem to excel at. I don't think Rossi should give up right now but if he ever had to, I think he should be as classy as most Repubs are.....although this one sticks to high heaven

I agree....there will be a backlash just like Thune beating Dashle....which was 1000 times better than just beating that weak chinned Tim Johnson!!! Tom, the Praerie Peanut was a HUGE trophy and payback.
