It's over - Rossi concedes

As reported here, Dino Rossi lost in his attempt to overturn the results from last November's governors race, with Judge Bridges making ruling after ruling against Rossi. As a result of Judge Bridges' rulings, Rossi has conceded and has stopped his law suit, saying that with the make up of the Washington State Supreme Court being what it is (extremely liberal), there would be no way that Judge Bridges' rulings would be overturned on appeal.

I am extremely disappointed in this. However, there exists the possibility that King County will do a total revamp of their elections office and their procedures so that something like what happened last November doesn't happen in the future. I can always hope, can't I?

There also exists the possibility that Rossi will now run against Cantwell for her Senate seat in 2006. Cantwell is vulnerable, and if Rossi does decide to run against her, there very well may be a lot of support for him, due to what happened in the governors race. I voted for him last November, and if he does decide to run against Cantwell next year, I'll vote for him again.
