Knock me over with a feather!

[icwhatudo]

OK, just for us not in the “know”. I assume this is a lib paper endorsing the Republican in a close race? Any updates on this race (including history of last election) appreciated!

[impeachedrapist]

Nice! This may explain why Joe Biden was campaigning in Tacoma WA yesterday.

Go Dino!!

If I remember correctly, Gov. Christine Gregoire was elected due to fairly blatant voter fraud and the Seattle Times did the “nothing to see here, move along” routine.

[Gil4]

I’m not “in the know,” but I believe this is a rematch of the real stolen election, where Rossi was ahead on the first and second count, but on the third “count” he lost.

It was close all the way, but it’s amazing how recounts always add votes to the ‘Rats.

[jazusamo]

Good for the Times, it's surprising but they have been critical of Gregoire and her spending.

When Gregoire won, so did her donors

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

FYI: The Seattle Times endorsed Rossi during the last WA state gubernatorial race. It didn't help. ACORN turned out en masse. By the time the recounts were done, Greg-gore had more votes than there were voters.

PING

[pissant]

Zoinks. That surprises me.

[pissant]

You beat me by mere seconds.

[RinaseaofDs]

It’s like Time Magazine endorsing McCain. Seriously.

[radiohead]

Knock me over with a feather!

No kidding! I'm glad I'm reading this at a distance. I would have fallen into my latte had I read it in Seattle. Now if they can only find all the Rossi ballots in King County!

[Rinnwald]

Stopped clocks, blind pigs, yada yada... What took the Seattle Times so long?

Gregoire stole the election, pushed the highest tax hike in state history, and increased the state budget by 33% in ONE term? Why are ANY newspapers (Seattle P-I) still endorsing her? What does it take; having her murder someone on camera?

[Mr. Mojo]

Thanks for the ping. These are some strange days...

[llevrok]

Somewhere in Latteville, pigs are flying....

[fieldmarshaldj]

Rossi was elected, Gregoire was selected.

[tiredofkerry]

Well they did endorse Bush in 2000 and they endorse Mike McGavick for Senate in 2006. I’m pretty sure Rossi was their guy in 2004.

[RetiredArmy]

If I am not having a complete memory loss here, I believe in 2000, the Seattle Slimes endorsed Bush. Their entire editorial board was for Algore and threw a fit, but the owners of the paper at the time wanted Bush endorsed. I think it was the Slimes and not the other paper, the PI.

Dino will be in Puyallup this Wednesday evening at the Liberty Theater. There will be a dinner buffet. This is the annual meeting of the King-Pierce Farm Bureau. The cost is $35 per person for non members.
