Calling President Gore

Republicans in Washington state are unhappy with the close election where a Democrat won after two recounts. Since the vote didn't go their way, they want a revote.

Saying the
Governor’s election produced "no clear victor at a time our state needs a strong decisive leader in Olympia" Republican say Washington needs to re-vote the election: one simple ballot style; one clear set of counting rules; with everyone watching very closely."

How cute, one simple ballot style, one clear set of counting rules. Gee I bet President Al Gore would like those standards. They would have given him a 291-246 electoral college victory to go along with a 600,000 plus popular vote margin.

But I'm sure the GOP sees 2000 differently. Afterall if George Bush can claim that a nearly 600,000 loss as a mandate, then a 100 vote victory for
Democrat Christine Gregoire must be a landslide.
