12/22/2004 Archived Entry: "Washington governor's race could swing after hand recount"

I ALMOST DON'T CARE WHO WINS: I make a prediction: Every four years there will be one race that will take so long to hammer out that by the time we know the results, we don't care who won. This year's prize winner is the Washington's governor's race. We should know -- in the same way we knew who won Florida about this time four years ago -- who won later today.

Not surprisingly the Democrats are paving the way for shocked! outrage! (and the inevitable court challenge) if they lose by actually announcing they've won. Heck, in one story they even claimed the margin of victory was eight votes despite the fact that the results haven't been released yet. Oh those Democrats. You almost have to admire them.

At any rate, they're still fighting about what votes will be counted so I doubt this will be done today no matter if Christine Gregoire or Dino Rossi wins.
