Judge Bridges invalidates the election, and the Washington Supreme Court upholds him. Gregoire leaves office, waves and says, "I'll be back." Lt. Gov. Brad Owen becomes acting governor in addition to remaining lieutenant governor until the November general election.
Phil Talmadge, Ron Sims and Brad Owen jump into the primary against Gregoire. The winner -- with only 35% of the vote -- gets to run against Rossi. Rossi wins 62% of the vote and claims a mandate.
Rossi is inaugurated in December, and in January he asks the new session of the legislature to "reconsider" certain bills signed by Gregoire. If the Democratic legislature spits in Rossi's face, he has issues on which to bludgeon them in the 2006 election.
If Rossi's margin is big enough, the Democrats will want to cut a deal with him.
