Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
After two months of listening to smug cretins sneer "Get over it!" it's almost refreshing to watch Washington Repugs whine "We wanna new election!"
It's just not fair! A Democrat won! Wahhhhhhh!
Just a faint taste of what would have happened had the election gone the other way here.
In a letter to Gregoire yesterday, Rossi said controversies surrounding their record-close election have left voter confidence badly shaken. He also said if she agreed to a revote, it would head off what could be months of bitter legal fighting that might ensue if he and the Republican Party decide to contest the latest of three ballot counts.
Whoever is sworn in as the next governor would be "shrouded in suspicion," Rossi said in his letter. He urged Gregoire to join him in asking the Legislature to call for a new election.
"A revote would be the best solution for the people of our state and would give us a legitimate governorship," he said.
Gregoire's spokesman Morton Brilliant said she would not be joining Rossi's call. "This ain't golf," he said. "No mulligans allowed here, folks."
It's just not fair! A Democrat won! Wahhhhhhh!
Just a faint taste of what would have happened had the election gone the other way here.
