Slog - Comments on Rossi Concedes http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/rossi_concedes Looks like someone has to go and get a real job now. No more running for governor for a living, Dino. Rossi said at a news conference at his campaign headquarters in Redmond that he called Gregoire this morning to congratulate her. Wouldn't you have loved to be in the room with Gregoire when she took that call? I like to think she was polite while Dino was on the line, and then did a little dance while screaming "FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKER! HA! FUCK YOU!" just as soon as he hung up....

While my fervent hope is that Rossi quits running for office altogether and becomes a lobbyist or CEO or something, I'm slightly concerned that he'll try yet again for the state's top office in 2012. I hope not, but the fear is there.

I think Rossi has his sights set on running for POTUS someday, and realizes that his state senate record won't make him a very attractive candidate. So I must ask whether anyone is concerned that Rossi might try to run against Patty Murray when her term is up in 2010. If he wants to make a bid for a spot on the national stage, wouldn't that be the next logical step?

And that goes double for Eyeman.

Don't need a week this time, chump.

Counties.

Go Washington! :)

It will go a long way to heal the hearts of his supporters and has the potential of helping all of us (including we Gregoire supporters)

He was such a jerk about losing. The man has no class and no grace.

I saw her ahead last night and then today I'm seeing Richart barely ahead. Is this finalized?

His sour grapes speech last night was unbelievable. I thought for sure he'd spend another couple months wasting everyone's time and energy trying to pull another lost campaign out of the dumpster. I'm glad to see he finally accepted the fact that WA doesn't want him.

Washington saying, "Don't Let Seattle Steal THIS Election!" Thus, my response. A sweet victory, given all the money Rossi's hacks spent to get him elected. No razor-thin margin this time!

It's still undecided. Torture!

It was right around the Obama speech so only KONG was showing it. But it was obnoxious. He went on and on about what he was going to do once the votes were counted and he was in office in Olympia. How everyone had been mean to him, etc. He spoke like his election was a certainty and his god-given right.

It would be hilarious to watch if its available somewhere.

And as bad as McKenna is, he's better than Rossi. And Ladenburg ran an unbelievably inept campaign, LOSING KING COUNTY and running behind even Jason Osgood, our SecState candidate.

He call voters theives on his billboards pisses off everone with his bullshit slander.Looses Spokane and Whitman county It's not about being a replubican or democrat, it's about the person. Washington State has had good Governors both parties. Chris Gregorie is a honorable Governor,Dan Evans a republican was a very good Governor. Dino please run again I want to see you become a 3 time looser it represents the person you really are.
