Rossi in 2008?
The Northwest Progressive Institute and Permanent Defense have learned that Dino Rossi has filed a C1 form with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission for his candidacy in 2008. The form was filled out on December 8th, 2004, and filed with the PDC on December 13th. I learned this while browsing the PDC's website and talking to one of our friends, David Goldstein, who has posted his reaction on his blog, HorsesAss.org.
So Rossi has his sights set on 2008 already. What a surprise.
If Rossi had won, he would have certainly been running for reelection anyway, so it isn't unfathomable that he would file for his candidacy in 2008 a few years in advance. But it's very early - 2004 isn't even over yet - and Rossi is already filing out his candidacy form in the middle of the hand recount? The form was filled out on the 8th of December - just a few days before King County initially announced it had discovered 561 ballots that it hadn't counted before.
I could not find a C1 registration form for Gregoire. Apparently she isn't as hasty to get going on her 2008 campaign (if there is one, and I'm sure there will be now) as Rossi is.
I've always thought that if Rossi lost this close election, he'd run again in 2008 with a war cry from 2004 and a good theme to run on. This is just another piece of evidence supporting that conclusion. You can see the PDC form for yourself here. Type "Rossi" in the Filer Name Field. Go down the list of documents and click on the row which has Rossi's name, the form number C1, and the year 2008.
Or, just go to HorsesAss.org to see an image of the form.
I guess we know what to expect in four years.
