If You're Pro-Choice, Pray for Gregoire...(from SeattlePI)
If you're pro-choice, pray for Gregoire

By SUSAN PAYNTER
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER COLUMNIST

Pro-choice leaders in this decidedly pro-choice state have been holding on to the gubernatorial recount roller coaster with white knuckles, crossed fingers and the breathless hope that Christine Gregoire's 129-vote lead will hold.

It really doesn't matter that he supports severe restrictions on a woman's right to abortion, candidate Dino Rossi assured them during the race -- on those few occasions when he could be pressed to discuss a subject he smoothly managed to largely avoid.

"I'm not running for Supreme Court," Rossi repeatedly said, selling himself as a moderate focused on jobs and business while nimbly sidestepping prickly social issues.

2. If it goes to the individual states, it could become a problem, no?
