Won’t Gregoire just manufacture votes again post election if she needs them?

I mean, it worked so well for her the last time.

Will there be justice in Washington tonight or will Gregoire steal this one, too?

4% but it’s too close to call, while OH is 3% but it’s already called?

It depends on what precints are in. It’s done every year.

I checked a minute ago and Pierce County hadn’t reported yet. My polling place in Pierce was PACKED. Folks sitting on every flat spot they could find, filling out ballots. Line out the door. Not enough pens to go around. I’ve never had to wait before.

Hey, Sandy. I lived in Seattle for 10 years.

You may appreciate an analogy I developed in Post 23 of this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2125367/posts

I fluctuate between hoping Rossi wins and hoping the residents of King County are bankrupted by their socialism and feel the pain for the next 40 years of their lives.

Of course, I mean the “liberal citizens of Seattle.” I hope you’re doing all right and will continue to do so.

I know multiple people who voted for her in 04 and voted for Rossi this year (and some voted for Obama, too). If she wins, she deserves to keep her name of Fraudoire.

Gregorie: 456,368
Rossi: 419,400
31% of precints reporting.

Rossi was ahead until numbers from King County started piling in. The district map colors look exactly like what you see during the typical senate races. Over 80% red, but the dems take Spokane, King, and a few other counties and still win due to the lib population centers.
Gregorie is up a whoping 69% in King county right now. But I still have my fingers crossed that Rossi makes a comeback.

Rossi is currently up by 5000. Maybe there will be one place of victory for us!

The tube is saying it may take a week to get 90% of the votes counted.

It’s pretty obvious to me it’s time to contract with Outer Mongolia to conduct our elections, cause KC doesn’t know the difference between their butts and a hole in the ground...

Oh, I’m fine. Disappointed that half the county is so spectacularly short sighted, but fine. Still waiting to see how Congressman Reichert is doing against Darcy Burner... no report yet.

I look forward to the republicans capturing the house and senate in two years, after they cause mayhem and gridlock by filibustering every scary thing Obama tries to do.

It would be fun, except that his naive foreign policy will damage us for years to come.

If anything changes they will just keep counting until Gregoire wins.

Anybody know what’s going on with Stevens or is it still too early?

Checked the vote.wa.gov site moments ago. G was leading but just moments ago Rossi took a slight lead. But still unreported are King, Pierce and Thurston counties, along with some other smaller counties.

King Co. of course is still waiting to see how many votes they need to “find”.

Pierce and King still have not reported. This is where they will “manufacture” votes if needed.
