Peanut Gallery (A Washington revote)
What makes you so sure Rossi would win a revote? If it’s a revote with the two of them on the ballot, Gregoire would pick up the vast majority of the 60,000+ votes that were cast for the libertarian candidate who ran on a pro-gay marriage platform. Plus, I’d guess that a lot of the Ron Simms voters in King County who stayed home because they were still miffed over the nasty primary would show up for Gregoire.
Regardless, why should she concede one inch? She’s the Governor, as certified by the State.
