Republicans getting desperate
GOP heads to court trying to stop ballots from being counted
State Republicans are getting desperate.
With the verdict in from Snohomish, and an expected change of fortune next week for Christine Gregoire, Republicans are fighting from the end of a string to prevent Dino Rossi from losing the governor's race.
The GOP is heading to court to try and stop votes from being counted in King County. This pathetic move shows the GOP's double standard. Just recently, Dino Rossi was talking about "the people, not the lawyers". Apparently Dino has settled for lawyers.
Does it get any more interesting? It sure does. The Seattle Times is reporting this morning that there may be another 162 missing ballots that could end up getting counted in King County.
Can you top that off? Absolutely. Former Secretary of State Ralph Munro is pushing the idea of a whole new election for Governor - a ridiculous idea that would delay the election until February, leaving Gary Locke in place as governor for more than a month beyond the length of his term. Locke has made clear he wants out.
The idea seems particularly stupid because the Democrats will gain control of the Legislature when the new session begins in several weeks, and will thus be in control of lawmaking. And do they really think that liberal Seattle will refrain from coming out in force to vote for Gregoire if there is a new election?
We'll continue tracking the latest developments in the election madness.
