14. Objectively...
Objectively, they should be granted a re-vote, because Gregoire would end up winning again in a fair election. However, I cannot help but recall a little state called Ohio and another one called Florida. If Democrats were calling for a re-vote we know that the Republicans would never go for it. And while this is not objective opinion, it is an opinion that I feel many here would agree with. Simply put, if the shoe was on the other foot, they'd tell us to get over it. It's about time that we start playing the game the way the Republicans play it -- ruthlessly. So, to hell with objectiveness in light of the past...

Quite simply, NO, there should be no re-vote because the lousy bastards won't be reasonable about states with actual problems -- namely Ohio. The Republicans in Washington state should be told in no uncertain terms, "Not no, but HELL NO." They ought to go fuck themselves for their behavior in 2000, 2002, and now in 2004. Tell them what they keep telling us, "Get over it!"

However, I do have a grudging respect for their leadership, since they will at least stand up and fight for what they believe in -- not roll over and give in to the opposition and their media whores. We could stand to take that tactic and add it to our own book.
