Hi snugs,

Rossi just held a press conference which I actually did get to see.

He asked Gregoire to join him in asking our legislature to authorize a revote because the count and recounts are shrouded in suspicion. A revote could be done speedily, he said, once the legislature is called into special session and authorizes it.

He intimated that if she doesn't, he'll contest the results. He said this would delay the outcome for months.

Seems to me he picked the most reasonable course -- politely ask for a revote knowing that if she refuses, he'll contest the results, opening up the whole King County fraud machine to intense scrutiny.

As someone wrote on the FR Washington State message board:

"My bride's take on this is that Rossi set them up. Gregoire and the KC Elections are between a rock and a hard place. She can either agree to the revote or the King County Election's office is going to have all of its fraud and corruption exposed.

"Who will win the argument... [King County Democrat and election official] Logan trying to cover his rear or Gregoire taking the chance that Rossi won't find enough to get a revote? Will the Seattle Media continue to shield them?

"We think his subtle challenge to Gregoire and KC Elections was outstanding. He ended with the confidence of one who knows what they are hiding. Him stating that we know we have to have enough to convince the Legislature and or the State Supreme Court was from a person that knows there is."
