It seems (King5.Com is reporting ^[1]) that Dino Rossi has won the Washington State Governor’s race by 42 votes. King County, where Gregoire gained 219 votes over the original count, was the last county to report in the recount, which began last week. Will there now be a second, hand recount? Forty two votes, after almost 3 million votes cast. Dino Rossi as Governor for at least 4 years. I say, get out the moisturizer and the eyeglasses and let the hand counting of paper ballots begin.

Maybe we’ll have a governor by Christmas.
