On the bright side, a wide majority of Washingtonians believe Rossi won, and I do believe that Rossi will be convinced to enter the ring to challenge Cantwell in 2006.
Rossi isn't running for Senate. He has said he will not screw his family like that. It's nothing but a two-bit consolation prize and anyway I don't think he'd win against StupidWell. The 'Rats are just too firmly dug in in WA state. If they happen to have a close election come along, they'll just steal it, like they did for Fraudoire.
