''One word: Preposterous'' (UPDATED)

Somehow I missed this editorial yesterday in the P-I. I hate to admit it (they are the dreaded mainstream press), but I think they got it right about the governor's race. By the way, let's not forget who provided the first big chunk of change for the recount: the Dean netroots who responded to a request from "HD." Update: I ran across this "Local News" story from the Tacoma News Tribune, "Sam Reed: Behind the sound bite." I could easily imagine his next campaign ad as I read it over. The guy is getting a favorable reaction these days from almost everbody except the local Rovians. Update: This post from ZNet makes the case that Rossi's reason for a revote, i.e. the election should produce someone who "should enter office without any doubt about the legitimacy of his or her office" and that the people of Washington "deserve to know that (the victor) ... was elected fair and square." is really more applicable to Ohio than Washington state. "BALLOT SCAMMING-POLLSTERS, MEDIA IMPLICATED IN VOTE FRAUD," on AmericanFreePress.com focuses on the relationship between exit polls, the media and the vote counters.
