"When they say every vote should be counted, they mean only the votes for their candidates. Those OTHER votes don't matter and are probably cast by ineligible, poor minority heathens. As a columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer observed, "Republican leaders have to know their shifting positions for a new election plays like a klutzy ballerina with vertigo on a newly waxed floor."-from "A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL." The P-I story, "Rossi files suit for a new vote," has this quote: "Paul Berendt, the state Democratic Party chairman, said the Republicans had presented a weak case that falls far short of demonstrating the widespread allegations of fraud that have been flying for weeks. Republicans are now "sheepishly admitting that there was no evidence of fraud," Berendt said. "It's obvious that the Republicans went judge shopping," Berendt said. "They were looking for a partisan judge and Chelan County is one of the most Republican counties in the state." The Seattle Times story this morning, "GOP suit doesn't ask to prevent swearing-in," puts it like this: "The GOP suit sets up the likelihood that Gregoire will move into the governor's mansion, while across the mountains a small-town judge considers whether she should be tossed from the post." PETER CALLAGHAN, writing in the Tacoma New Tribune, is the sober voice of reason in his column, "Governor’s mess stump ya? Check the constitution." Curious what he says? You'll have to read it yourself, I'm going to bed!
