Let's Hope This Nightmare is Over

For those of you who are not in the know, our Governor's race has been a fierce one full of as much bipartisan bickering as you could imagine. We've had recounts and Dem vs. Rep court battles, with both Gregoire (D) and Rossi (R) being shown to suddenly have four or twenty-six or eight hundred uncounted votes. At one point, some of those "lost ballots" were found beneath a cafeteria tray at one of the recounts. Now, my opinion stands that Rossi is a slimy carsalesman, covered over with a layer of the Radical Right, and dressed up to look like a nice "family man." I'm not too fond of Gregoire, but ... well, I wasn't too fond of Kerry either. But like Bush, there was no way I wanted to see Rossi in the hot seat of our otherwise liberal state. (Liberal for the most part; that conservative voice, though small, is very loud and votes often.) So, if this nightmare is really over, we may actually have three liberals in the three major seats of government around here, and not just liberals, but women. ::beams::
