You're not missing a thing.........and I do believe it is now too late to add any more to either list. The deadline was last Friday. Trial starts May 23.

"Democrats Do The Math" ha ha, come on we all know that they have their own unique way of counting.

What gets me is that the FBI is already investigating the mayor of Spokane and we still can't get them to look into our stolen election.

Well Austrailia is pretty socialist, more so then Washington. And of course they are totally disarmed there. Me, I'm going to stay and fight. If elections are no longer a possible way to change things due to massive fraud I am more then willing to move on to the next mechanism.

Stick around, the fun is just beginning.

You know, Stalin once said, "It's not the people who cast the votes that decide elections, it's the people who count them."

When the democrats are doing the math, anything is possible. Gregoire may win by more every time they investigate.

Bistromath?

"Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behaviour of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants."

We did not win them all, but in 2004, we won more than we lost.

Exactly. Which is why our students do worse on academic test each year in comparison with other developed nations, and why they score higher each year in self-image. We have so much for which to thank the liberals.

That's because we don't know the individual "diversity multipliers" that are applied to each "2". It's just like how they score college admissions applications.

Very interesting. Politics sure makes for strange bedfellows.

Bistromathics...

LOL! I haven't heard of this before, but on reading it I think it's too technical an explanation for liberal New Math proponents. Their position was that it doesn't matter whether you get the answer right; it only matters that you tried your best and that you feel good about yourself for trying. I think any liberal who advocates this should be limited, should he ever require brain surgery, to physicians who were educated under that philosophy.

It seems to me however, that this process has exposed their game.

At this point, I see this as a win-win for Republicans. We end up with two potential outcomes; the election is thrown out or exposure to just how sloppy (and perhaps fraudulent) elections are in the state. Either way, it blows back in her direction.

Especially if Dino holds tight and doesn't run against Cantwell in next year.

Democratic spokeswoman Amanda Fuchs said the party's analysis was done by "people at Democratic headquarters" and had not been reviewed by the party's two statistical experts.

Well, that settles it. Unnamed partisans of unknown qualifications say it, so it must be so.

IMHO, the Republicans erred by going for this sort of statistical analysis. What they should instead have done is said, "Here's at least 946 people who voted illegally. The Democrats have found an additional 743 illegal votes. Add 'em up, and you have at least 1,689 people who voted illegally. Given that that's more than 13 times the margin of victory, it's impossible to know who won. Void the election and call a knew one."

The sad part of all this is that nobody is, or can, point out the Elephant in the room, which is: HAND RECOUNTS ARE MUCH LESS ACCURATE THAN MACHINE COUNTS!!! Why anybody would throw out a machine count and replace it with a hand count is beyond me. Why we write laws to allow that is stupid. If you had a wheelbarrow with 3 million coins in it, and you took it to a bank, would you want them to be run through a counting machine, or would you rather the tellers count them? If you count something 3 times, and it comes out different 3 times, a SANE step would be to count them again. Don't stop counting until you get the same answer twice. Can't do that with elections. Which is why you shouldn't recount at all. Why do recounts always give more votes to democrats, in places where democrats run the counting? Is it just coincidence?
