Gregoire receives death threat

By David Ammons

OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Patrol is keeping close watch over both Gov. Christine Gregoire and her Republican rival, Dino Rossi, after Gregoire received a death threat and emotions over the contested election continue to run high.

Gregoire told reporters today she received a death threat and that she plans to keep a lid on publicizing her movements outside the heavily guarded Capitol and Governor's Mansion.

Rossi has around-the-clock protection.

"I'm going to honor it when the chief of the state patrol says that for my personal security, we need to maintain some procedures," Gregoire said, referring to the blackout on releasing a detailed schedule.

"Give me six months. Allow me these six months."

She said she got a death threat, but added: "I'm not going to be deterred by any of that. I got death threats, frankly, when I was attorney general. I've got a job to do, but I'm also going to be smart (about security considerations). I owe that to the citizens of the state and I will listen to the chief of the state patrol."

She said blamed "the level of discussion on some of these talk radio shows" for whipping up people.

I sense a fainting spell on the horizon.

What a joke. And she's going to be smart? Sure hope she will be smarter than when she was Attorney General and cost the people of the state millions of dollars.

Prepare to watch the economy of this state take a nosedive. This woman is completely incompetent.

At least indigestion.

Congrats! Your comment from this thread was mentioned this morning on KTTH, AM 770 in Seattle, by the fill-in host who was giving kudos to Freerepublic. "Encapsulated genius" was the term used. I think his name is Carson (something) The show is usually hosted by Dan "Darth" Sytman who is Medved's producer.

She just doesn't want her schedule publicized too much in advance because she's tired of all the people showing up that are being vocal about her illegitimacy.

What a b**ch.

Come on Times, get the quote right!

The guy who was arrested for this lives in Wapato, Washington on the East side of the Cascade Mountains. He is a nutburger who made the threat to his head doctor. Here's the kicker, the talk radio shows she's referring to don't broadcast over there!

Democrats never let facts get in the way of their bloviations.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"Man arrested was named Jeff Martelli from Yakima county, who made the threat against her and her children on Jan 19."

I did a search on him. I could find any referance to him except for your statement here. how did you get that information?
