GOP in no mood to party. Republicans rally in Olympia

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

OLYMPIA - Groans echoed through the packed 55-passenger bus Tuesday as it rolled along I-5 to Everett. The passengers had just attended a rally at the state Capitol calling for a second vote to give Republican Dino Rossi another chance to capture the governor's chair.

Speakers charged that the governor's race was filled with election errors so serious as to undermine the public's confidence in the system. They allege that dead people voted, and cited military members serving abroad who either didn't receive absentee ballots or received them too late.

Across the street, separated by a line of Washington State Patrol troopers, a couple of hundred Gregoire supporters taunted the GOP speakers and carried signs of their own proclaiming the Republicans "sore losers."

One of them, Sabrina Weiner of Lynnwood, is a Naval reserve officer. She was outraged that Rossi's constituency is "using the military as pawns." She said Rossi supporters are misrepresenting the situation with soldiers serving overseas.

"What bothers me is that they're waiting until now to say it," Weiner said. "They weren't there standing on the Capitol steps with us both times during the recount.

"I am angry that they are being selective on when to play the military card, and it's not fair to our troops."

1. boo hoo hoo on them

I'm thrilled that Gregoire hung in there, the people of Washington state hung in there, and justice prevailed for once. I guess I can't move out of Washington state for awhile now, I'm proud to live here!

5. Why is that women have more ______s that men?

Well there are good men in the House of Reps -- however ....

One House Rep was joined by one Senator -- both women

Gregoire stood her ground -- requested that EVERY vote be counted.

Kerry should take lessons from Gregoire -- her speech about the importance of counting every vote -- was the one that Kerry should have made.
