Why dont you like him? Just because he has an R?
I don't like Rossi for numerous reasons..he reminds me of a used car salesman always fudging or omitting the truth. He even has refused to list himself on the ballot as a "Republican" instead he's listed as "prefers the GOP party"..
You might think everyone knows GOP means Republican but a poll taken a few months ago found that 7% of all respondents thought GOP referred to the Democratic Party, and 18 percent polled didn't even know "GOP" meant "Republican."
I also don't like his cozy relationship with the anti environmental Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW). If they had their way they would pave Washington state from one end to the other putting up strip malls and housing developments. The BIAW has contributed more than 7 million dollars to Rossi and is also running sleazy ads independent (so they say) from his campaign.
that woman stole the election last time, she is a horrific beast for doing that.
That's a popular theory that has been put forth by disgruntled Republicans but it doesn't pass muster...lets look at the facts:
After the 3 recounts eventually declared Gregoire the winner, Rossi refused to concede and the Republican Party filed a lawsuit in Chelan County (eastern WA. very conservative) Superior Court contesting the election, but the trial judge ruled against it. In fact Judge Bridges not only rejected all claims of fraud but he rejected the Rossi campaign's claim that improperly cast ballots led to Gregoire's victory. Adding insult to injury he found that 4 felons had actually voted for Rossi, removing 4 votes from Rossi's final total.
Rossi finally conceded after the court's decision and he has moved on. If fact, as I previously stated, I think he is in relatively good shape to win this time...Gregoire has been polling consistently under 50% and often with an incumbent that spells trouble..we'll see.
it was so cute
