Um. Someone tell GOoPer Dino Rossi that when you lose an election, you have to wait until the next cycle to
run again:
The night before Washington's secretary of state was scheduled to certify Democrat Christine Gregoire as the governor-elect, her Republican rival Dino Rossi called for a complete re-do of the longest, closest governor's race in state history.
"The uncertainty surrounding this election process isn't just bad for you and me -- it is bad for the entire state. People need to know for sure that the next governor actually won the election," Rossi said Wednesday evening, reading from a letter he sent to Gregoire.
There is no uncertainty. Washington's Republican secretary of state is about to certify the vote for Gregoire. Take out the batch of legitimate ballots allowed by the Supreme Court last week, and Gregoire
still squeezes out a victory.
So Rossi will have to stop playing "governor-elect" and let the real winner assume that mantle. And the WA GOP will simply have to get over it.
No one likes a sore loser.
