Pointing to myself (WA Gov)

Long ago and far, far away—well, OK, it was late last year on DailyKos—I was famous.  I wrote an extended series of diaries, sometimes as often as twice a day, about the then-unfolding, breathtakingly-close Washington gubernatorial election.  It got to the point where my diaries would almost instantaneously appear on dKos’s Recommended Diaries, where they’d be referred to and touted on the front page by Markos himself.

Early this morning (seven seconds after midnight, to be precise), I posted a dKos diary that will serve as a table of contents of the entire series.  Anyone interested in what many people (including, I’ve been told, the WA Dems attorneys working on the recount) considered to be a definitive overview of those counts and recounts—while they were happening—is encouraged to take a look at that diary.  Here’s the link:

I present this both as a public service (one that, admittedly, looks a whole lot like a pat on my own back) and as a reminder of where Rossi’s election-contest lawsuit (wrapping up today) got started.  Check the Seattle Times for solid MSM coverage (really, David Postman has done yeoman work on it) and the Pacific NW Portal for links to a slew of blog reports on the lawsuit.

As noted above, the court case in Wenatchee ends today, and Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges will announce his ruling on Monday.  Were I a betting man, I’d bet my house that our next gubernatorial election will take place on November 4, 2008 ... in other words, that Rossi, Vance, and the slime-mold Republicans will lose the case.  They’ll appeal to the Washington Supreme Court, who will definitively uphold Bridges’s decision.

The “court of public opinion” is another matter entirely.  But that’s for another day, another discussion.
