----Thats slick? Why would anyone go for that? I want Rossi to win but thats like be like Bush asking Gore in 2000 to revote New Mexico becuase he only lost by a few hundred votes. Not really a good idea.----
Even if you were to discount everything we have seen coming out of Washington State over the past eight weeks -- and this is indeed one of the most open, up-front, unashamed, and hubristic examples of Democrat election theft in history (the Republicans are going on a "fishing expedition"???), the comparison to New Mexico doesn't hold.
If you'll recall, many on the left were demanding a statewide revote of Florida in 2000 -- and only Florida. You cannot do that in a presidential election. Even if there were a Constitutional provision for revoting in a presidential election, you most certainly could not limit that revote to only one state, as that would be a clear equal-protection violation. (The equal-protection question was the reason the S.C. got involved in the first place.) Bush could not have asked for a New Mexico revote; besides, since he's not a Democrat, he doesn't subscribe to the practice of demanding recount after recount under constantly-shifting counting practices until he finds a way to win.
Washington state, if I understand correctly, does provide for the possibility of a statewide revote and it is the ONLY way to remedy this hopelessly-screwed election. If Gregoire clearly wins the revote, fine. But Washingtonians deserve to know one way or another that they are being governed by the consent of a majority of the people, as a result of a free and fair election conducted under open scrutiny and consistent, statewide standards.
