Rossi, Rossi, Rossi.

[Mr.Atos]

We're waiting on the edge of our seats down here as well. Perhaps there is hope for the Pacific Northwest. But, I have my doubts. Both states seem intent on replicating feudalism.

[Popman]

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Dan Rather reporting, King county election results are do in at any moment.

This race is tighter than a tick on a hound dog.

Tick, tick ,tick, tick.

Prayers for Dino Rossi!

[Publius]

We'll see just how hanky-panky there was.

if Gregoire steals this, it will be the first time in history that a recount has ever changed the results of the election...

I hate the RAts....

prayers and fingers crossed for a better Washington.....

[Mr.Atos]

Was King County allowed to selectively count rejected ballots per court order as was reported previously?

[Mister Baredog]

We will soon know if Gregoire managed to steal it.

If so, it didn't take them as long as they thought it would. I have an empty feeling in my gut about this one, hope I'm wrong.

FINGERS CROSSED

[Publius]

Yes.

[Veto!]

waiting, waiting. But King County results are not the only ones left to count, are they? Aren't some more moderate counties still out?

[Publius]

Only King and Kitsap counties remain.

[Mr.Atos]

So its done then.

[Oblongata]

They're in!!!

[Mister Baredog]

Waiting to hear something? Note time
