Rossi may want to change his tune now that we have the McCain-Palin ticket. Both have demonstrated by their deeds that they truly represent change, whereas the Obamanation is an empty suit mouthing an empty, meaningless mantra, "Hope, Change, Hope, Change, ...", and is a member of the ruthless Daley political machine doing business as usual.

BTW, Rossi had the election won in 2004. However Gregoire and the Democrats, taking a page from the AlGore playbook, held several recounts, each time "discovering" uncounted ballot boxes found, surprisingly enough, in unsecured warehouses, that finally brought her total to more than Rossi's, at which point the Washington State courts (Democrats, of course) shut off the recounts, and declared her the winner.

Not true. I was the one who posted daily threads on FR about the recount.

Rossi won the official count and also the machine recount. The Democrats paid for a hand recount and won when all those "missing" ballots from dead voters came out of unsecured warehouses in King County.

The litigation of the election challenge went to a judge who was a political independent, a strict constructionist, and who upheld the Washington state election contest law, which sets a very high barrier to challenging individual votes. Under the law, the judge's decision was correct, even though it did not produce the decision Republicans wanted.
