Extry, extry, read almost nothing about it!
In the stupid Election Contest hearing for Washington governor, Judge Bridges has ruled that the election stands, and Thief-In-Chief Gregoire remains as Governor.
Good.
His main point: Dems actually showed that a few of the illegal votes went to Rossi; Reps did not actually show that any illegal votes went to Gregoire.
Overall, I'd rather have Judge Bridges as governor than either of these two candidates. He is calm, rigorous, humorous, and deeply commonsensical.
The decision will, of course, be reviewed by the State Supremes, who are also surprisingly commonsensical folks.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: follow John Fund. "If it ain't close, they can't cheat." Republicans have to win by winning, not by manipulation. Leave the sneaky stuff and the court action to The Party, which knows how to do it. Most people know the difference between honest winning and manipulation; if both sides are seen as equally sneaky, there's simply no point in having two parties.
Unfortunately, the state Republican 'party' has now wasted 1/8 of Gregoire's term with this idiocy; during this time she has taken full advantage of opposition distraction to pass lots of bad legislation. ¶ 9:50 AM
