Dino Rossi concedes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

First-time Democratic candidate Kim Schrier has delivered us from the threat of Congressman Dino Rossi. It's over. She won. He lost. Again. (Again. Again. Again.)

Natalie Brand over at King 5 called that shit:

And then, approximately 30 minutes later, Rossi conceded:

I've been covering this guy—this four-time loser—for over a year at this point, and I practically fell asleep reading this concession. To save you all some time: Rossi basically thanks his staff for their hard work, uses a couple sports metaphors, and announces his excitement to his return to his family. He left out the part where he admits that losing a district he won by 10 points in three previous (failed) state-wide races has bruised his ego so badly that he will no longer attempt to run for anything ever again in his life—not for county commissioner, not for mayor of Small Town, not even for a motherfucking bus—and that only his two houses and millions of dollars can possibly console him—but, hell, a raging crank can't have everything.

Democrat Kim Schrier won the competitive 8th Congressional District over Republican Dino Rossi, capturing 52.9 percent of the vote after a second round of returns were released Wednesday.
KING 5 called the race based on trend lines and our analysis of the vote left to be counted.
Schrier (53 percent) widened her lead over Rossi (47 percent) to 14,949 votes as of Thursday. Her biggest lead is in King County, which is the most populous portion of the 8th District; 57.9 percent of the county voted for Schrier.

7. Even with the support of Pence

Dino Rossi's latest benefactor? Mike Pence

The White House has made its first move in the hotly contested race for Washington's 8th Congressional District, the seat of retiring Republican Rep. Dave Reichert.

The political action committee of Vice President Mike Pence, the Great America Committee, has given $5,400 to Republican hopeful Dino Rossi, who has cleared the GOP field. Rossi has already put more than $1 million in the bank.

The Pence PAC donation shows high priority attached to Washington's open seat.
