<<Looks like UNICEF is working on the water first:>> No, the USS battle carrier group Lincoln will do the water. She can make 1 million gallons a day and is steaming there now. We have C130s dropping food and supplies.

Wednesday, December 29, 2004 · Last updated 6:08 p.m. PT Closest governor's race: It's Governor-elect Gregoire, but Rossi seeks 'do-over' By DAVID AMMONS AP POLITICAL WRITER OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Democrat Christine Gregoire, the three-term state attorney general who fought America's tobacco industry, Internet porn and schoolyard bullying, becomes Washington's governor-elect on Thursday, by a scant 129 votes out of more than 2.8 million cast. Her Republican rival, Dino Rossi, has refused to concede. In a Wednesday night news conference, he urged Gregoire to join him in calling for a compete re-do of the longest, closest governor's race in state history. "The uncertainty surrounding this election process isn't just bad for you and me - it is bad for the entire state. People need to know for sure that the next governor actually won the election," Rossi said, reading from a letter he sent to Gregoire. "A revote would be the best solution for the people of our state, and would give us a legitimate governorship," the letter went on to say. A call to the Gregoire campaign was not immediately returned. More than eight weeks after Election Day, the Republican secretary of state, Sam Reed, on Thursday planned to certify the results of an unprecedented third vote tally. The statewide hand recount put Gregoire ahead for the first time, by just a tiny fraction of 1 percent. Rossi, the former state Senate budget committee chairman, won the regular tally last month by 261 votes, triggering an automatic machine recount. He won that count, too, by 42 votes. seattlepi.nwsource.com
