Chris: ''Accept Recount''--Reed: ''Count 'Em All''

Bad day for Dino in the spin wars. The P-I leads with "Gregoire: Let's accept recount: With the very real possibility that the hand recount could undo Dino Rossi's victory, Christine Gregoire wants Rossi's pledge to accept the upcoming results as final -- and concede if he loses."-from the front page story, "Gregoire urges Rossi: Let's accept result of hand recount." Rossi isn't helped much by this, from the P-I reporter: "Rossi was unavailable for comment, but his spokeswoman, Mary Lane, said he would accept the results of the manual recount -- provided he wins." And the Seattle Times headlines this from our Republican Secretary of State: "Reed says county has right to fix error, tally 735 ballots." Update: Chris Bowers in MyDD, handicaps the Gregoire-Rossi race, drawing on some information we have already posted. His call: "Gregoire is almost certain to win if all valid votes are counted."
