The Washington State Democratic Party has declared that with the completion of the manual recount in King County that Gregoire has won by eight votes. In what is the most absurd, hypocritical, and duplicitous comment I have ever heard, state Democratic Chair Paul Berendt has declared, "We're confident Christine Gregoire has been elected the governor of the state of Washington, I believe Dino Rossi should concede."
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
Does Berendt actually believe that Dino Rossi should just automatically concede if he has indeed lost by 8 votes, even though Gregoire refused to concede when she lost by 42 votes following the first recount? Is he so pompous to now demand that Rossi go away without so much as a word, even though he and his fellow Democrats repeatedly changed the rules and committed voter fraud after they lost by much bigger margins. Does he actually believe that the people of the state of Washington are going to accept a party who wouldn't quit until they received the result they wanted, and than turned around and demanded that the other side give up after they got that result?
This is truly a new low, even for Democrats. Words cannot describe the feeling I have towards Berendt and his Democratic cronies right now. How dare he try to steal an election and than demand that Republicans concede, something Gregoire and the Democrats didn't have the honor to do the first two times they lost. To claim that Gregoire is the rightful winner and that it is over is the most asinine thing I have heard. More and more Democrats seem determined to live up to their mascot, an ass. And that is exactly what Paul Berendt is.
UPDATE (12:32 A.M.) : It is worth mentioning, that should Gregoire take the governorship, Rossi immediately becomes the GOP favorite for the Senate race against Sen. Cantwell in '06, and he'd have at the very least have a 50/50 shot of defeating her.
