But it looks like this time the Libertarians hurt the Democrat in Washington State. So maybe the Republicans knew what they were doing.
Would you care to elaborate? The ugly lesbian feminist vote, maybe? Or vegetarians? (I'm only picking up on what Blue Screen of Death posted; who the Libertarians ran for governor was never reported on the wire services, so that's the best we've got for now.)
It appears the Democrat will take office after winning the recount. Close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades, they always say.
