Protesters gather as gubernatorial fight heads to court - WA
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Hundreds of chanting partisans staged dueling protest rallies at the Capitol on Tuesday, many demanding a revote in the state's closest governor's race in history.

Police estimated more than 1,000 protesters massed on the Capitol lawn.

A no-man's zone staffed by at least a dozen state troopers kept a larger pro-revote crowd separate from a pack of Democrat Christine Gregoire's backers.

Cries of "revote" and "revote or revolt" rang out as lawmakers inside the Capitol prepared to debate a GOP motion to delay certification of the governor's election for two weeks while the courts and lawmakers deal with reports of voting irregularities.

2. They love intimidation

If you can't win, try to scare your opponent.

Won't work.

3. they counted every ballot by hand, and she won.
What's to revolt about? This tone stinks of 1933 in Germany.

I live a mile or so from the Capitol and I think I can still smell the stench outside.

5. Remember the "mad Floridians" who stormed the polling places
after the 2000 election disrupting the recount process and shouting "PRESIDENT bush"
Turns out they were all out-of-state republican operatives and campaign flunkies "ordered" to Florida by Karl Rove.
Watch for the same tactic in Washington State.

6. Oh, they were definitely an out of state crowd.....
One stupid fucking freeper even stood on the pedestrian overpass that connects the two sides of the Capitol Campus and shouted various "Go George W" cheers. As if the Idiot Son of an Asshole had anything to do with this election?
