	ABC 7 News - Bitter Showdown for Governor in Washington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Washington (AP) - Eight states are choosing candidates Tuesday for the Senate, House and governor in the last big primary day before the November election, including a bitter gubernatorial contest and races for two open congressional seats in Washington state.
		The highest-profile race is the Democratic gubernatorial primary in Washington between the state's leading fl politician and a female attorney general who took on the tobacco industry in the 1990s and helped negotiate a $206 billion settlement with cigarette makers.
		Washington has long operated under a wide-open "blanket" primary in which all candidates appeared on one ballot and the top finisher from each party advanced to the general election.

	Office of Lieutenant Governor - Washington State -
		The Lieutenant Governor of Washington is the President of the Senate, and serves the state as acting governor in the absence of the Governor.
		The Lieutenant Governor, first in line of ascension, is elected to a four-year term, which coincides with the terms of the President of the United States.
		Before Washington became a state on November 11, 1889, ten men served as Territorial Secretary of State and held the responsibility to act in the absence of the elected governor, but did not have right of ascension.

		She is seeking to become the second female governor in state history.

		Republican candidate for Governor of Washington Dino Rossi is ahead of both Democrats and within 6 points of their combined total.
		And Elway observes that Rossi's 35 percent is a baseline figure for Republican gubernatorial candidates in Washington.
		The likely Republican nominee for Governor of Washington, Dino Rossi, is actually a slick huckster whose carefully-manicured image as a likeable suburban moderate - and experienced state legislator - masks an extremist conservative soul.

	The Seattle Times: Politics: Gregoire says recount the whole state or don't recount at all
		Democrat Christine Gregoire said this morning that if her party doesn't raise the money for a statewide recount, she will concede the governor's race rather than count only a few counties.
		Republican Dino Rossi was certified as governor-elect Tuesday after last week's machine recount gave him a 42-vote victory margin - perhaps the closest governor's race in the nation's history.
		Gregoire's statement does not say specificially what she will do if there is not money for a statewide recount.

		Those peoples were most likely the descendants of Asians who had crossed a land bridge to North America at the end of the last ice age and had slowly worked their way south.
		Washington workers turned increasingly to union representation in the closing decades of the 19th century, establishing the base for later charges of labor radicalism.
		The Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) was slated to construct five nuclear power facilities in the state, but cost overruns forced the agency into default in 1981, saddling Washington taxpayers with more than $2.25 billion in debt.

	Sound Politics: 2004 Governor's Race Archives
		Fifth, the practice of ballot enhancement, reportedly used widely in King County for the purpose of electing the Governor, is a violation of the constitutional concept of equality in the electoral process.
		Specifically, if Washington State designated a unique set of ballots to be counted for the purpose of electing the Governor in the 2004 election, and this was a different set than was used to elect the other officials, the State would appear to be in violation of the United States Constitution.
		In no uncertain terms, if Washington State concluded that the original set of ballots used to decide the various ballot items in the 2004 election was valid, then it must use this set for all statewide ballot items, including election of the Governor.

	Powerpundit: Washington State Governor Update
		After a while, you really do have to start laughing at the whole situation in Washington - I know it is very serious business and we do have to do all we can to prevent the Democrats from stealing an election, but their actions in Washington have reached the level of pure farce.
		Now we are told that the number of discovered ballots is 573 - which with 57% going for Gregoire would give her 327 votes, or a 7 vote net lead (guess they wanted to pad it by six just in case the other two uncounted Counties come up with a few more Rossi votes).
		Our fellow Republicans in Washington are still fighting it - and perhaps the increasing brazeness of the Democratic attempts to steal the election will make the Washington courts call a halt but I've never seen a more pathetic thing in my life...it's like political power is crack for the Democrats.

		WASHINGTON – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday wrapped up another of his "save California" trips to this city – this one marked by meetings with President Bush and Cabinet secretaries, fund-raisers for his ballot initiatives and yet more appeals for federal money for the state.
		But Schwarzenegger, a Republican, was dogged throughout the day by protesters and reports that a company from India is helping to put his proposals before voters.
		Unlike his last visit less than three weeks ago, when the media-magnet was happy to pose for cameras and describe his Washington agenda, a tight-lipped Schwarzenegger evaded reporters this time.

	Democrat Takes Lead in Washington State (washingtonpost.com)
		SEATTLE, Dec. 22 -- It took three statewide counts and a ruling by the Washington State Supreme Court to do it, but Christine Gregoire, the Democratic candidate for governor, has taken a narrow -- and perhaps decisive -- lead in one of the closest statewide elections in U.S. history.
		The results of the second recount have not yet been certified as official by the Washington secretary of state, and a lawyer for the state Republican Party said Wednesday that if Rossi does lose after the third and final recount, the party would contest the election before the state legislature, which is controlled by Democrats.
		Republicans said Wednesday that the state Supreme Court has suddenly changed the rules for counting votes in the governor's race and that the party would urgently look across Washington state for ballots that were improperly disqualified.

		The inauguration of the new governor is scheduled for January 12.
		Republicans also argue that a hand count would be cumbersome, would trigger a host of lawsuits and, because it is subject to human error and biases, would not be as accurate as the machine recount already completed.

	RealClearPolitics
		In the impending third recount in the Washington state governor's race, Democrats are petitioning the state Supreme Court to compel counties to reexamine some 15,000 previously rejected ballots.
		Presumably, Democrats would be on hand to issue challenge after challenge to these ballots, turning the entire system inside out and upside down to come up with the 43 votes they need to get their candidate into the governor's mansion.
		To be honest, in the larger scheme of things I could care less whether the governor of Washington state is a Republican or a Democrat.
