''Democrats fight back GOP effort to delay Gregoire certification''

This AP headline is the story line bouncing around Seattle tv news, describing how the Dems in the state Senate narrowly beat back an attempt by the Repubs to postpone for two weeks the certification of the governor's race. The House, which has a larger Democratic contingent, is expected finish the job on Tuesday. It's good to see the words "Democrats fight back," isn't it? What happens after the legislature confirms a Gregoire victory is the only unanswered question, as of tonight. A court in Chelan County will hear the GOP challenge and "Some Republicans are talking about a walkout or boycott of the inauguration," according to another story in tonight's online Seattle Times story, "New beginning" as lawmakers ring in new session."
