WA State Governors Race
There is a manual recount going on for the governors race here. There was the initial machine count and Dino Rossi won by a slim enough margin to warrant an automatic machine re-count which Rossi won again. The Democrats demanded a hand recount -- first they wanted to count only those counties where they had a strong showing (hoping that they could pick up a few more votes) but then they promised to pay for the entire state to be recounted.
Rossi has picked up some more votes.

T-r-e-n-d
As mentioned by some commenters in previous posts, recount
numbers continue to trickle in. In addition to yesterday's reports from Mason and Garfield, Skamania and Wahkiakum have reported today. Rossi ended yesterday +45. His lead has now grown to +46. As one of our more excitable Democrat readers put it in his comment last night: "Can anyone spell the word t-r-e-n-d?"
