re: The ramification of that argument...
Rossi lost a lot of my respect when he threw in with the recall/revote crowd. The vote was a statistical tie and neither deserved to be governor more than any other. A coin toss would have been far cheaper and just as statistically accurate as the recounts. I would have favored a coin toss, since there is no way either side could have tried manipulating the coin to their advantage. Both sides tried and Gregoire is the governor. Rossi needs to get over it.
