Until their cccccold dead fingers....Some Democrats Won't Give Up the Governor's Office soundpolitics.com Until their cold dead fingers are dragged away from it. That's how I interpret this story. Even if Republican Dino Rossi wins the hand recount of the state’s extraordinary governor’s race, a never-before-used provision in the state constitution could allow the Democrat-controlled Legislature to hand the election to Democrat Christine Gregoire. Experts are unsure how to interpret the provision. But the state Democratic Party says it gives Democrats the ability to contest the results of the election before the Legislature. The Legislature would hold a trial of sorts, like an impeachment hearing, with lawmakers voting on the final outcome, according to a Democratic Party lawyer. I should add immediately that the three Democratic legislators who spoke on the record all opposed the idea. On the other hand, Larry Sabato, who knows a little about politics, thinks it might happen. I am amazed that the idea was even brought up, since it is hard to think of anything that would infuriate voters more than to cancel their choice for governor, confirmed with three separate counts.
