DINO PRESS CONFERENCE AT 3:30PM

Via the Orb: "Rossi Announcing Decision On Whether He'll Contest Election."

I will be there to blog an almost live report.

UPDATE: Also, Travis Box tells me that 570-KVI is seeking to get a live audio feed from there, and regardless, Dino Rossi will call in to the show directly afterwards.

2. LOL!!....I just heard that Gregoireovich will embark on a trip across the state on what she calls "a Healing Tour".

hey x-tine, better make that a "Farewell Tour"!

3. Why all the "live blogs" and "live feeds"? This is the most expected thing that's happened since the election began.

You can write the headline and story already: "Rossi Contests Election; Cites Innumberable Irregularities"

Live stuff is for surprises...not slam dunks!

4. COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU THE 2005 HEALING TOUR!

Gregoire will be providing acupuncture and aroma therapy massages in hopes that you will forget about all the illegal ballots cast in King County!

To Sign up for your healing contact your local legislator today!

5. For those that care... you can watch the news conference live on king5.com.

A "Healing Tour" eh, Michele. I'd rather see a heeling tour. I've got a heel on my boot, and I know just where to place it with one swift kick...

6. you have to cover it live...so you will have it on record when he calls Miss Chris "a F*@#ing Thief" (not that he will...but he should) or if, say, the wife of the chairman of the King County Council goes nutso again...ya never know...

8. I have the feeling that this type of thing has been going on for a long time. It was just a matter of time before the election was close enough and someone had a big pair (Rossi!) to go up against the Dems in the Peoples Republic of King COunty. I think we could make Slade Gordon a Senator again.....

9. Well, he has political cover to drag this out as long as he wants. The SUSA poll with 65% saying he won and less than 40% saying he should concede gives him a myriad of options from a political perspective. It would appear he can contest the election and not pay any political price for it since most people think he won.

10. Erik's favorite movie:
See no evil, hear no evil.

11. Fox News just mentioned the WA election contest on Special Report. National coverage...

Posted by: VaCSProf on January 7, 2005 03:34 PM

12. This deserves National coverage, and my greatest hope is that King County, their elections department, and RON SIMS get their well deserved dues in this matter. Makes Mayor Daly look small time!

Mayor Daly was sitting in his office late one night, when the Devil appeared before him.
The Devil told the mayor: "I have a proposition for you. You can win every single mayoral race for the rest of your life. Your constituents will adore you, your counsel members will stand in awe of you, and you will make embarrassing sums of money through your political consulting firm."

The mayor began to salivate at the mere thought...

The Devil continued: "All I want in exchange is your soul, the souls of your fellow counsel members, the souls of all of the employees for the City of Anaheim, including the legal staff's souls I don't already possess, plus the souls of all of your friends and business associates."

Mayor Daly thought about this for a moment, then asked, "So what's the catch?"

Remind you of anybody?

13. All eyes on Dino at his Bellevue headquarters this moment...he has made the big announcement for plans to contest the election.

Meanwhile, X-tine Gregoireovich is on her 'Healing Tour', stuck at a gas station somewhere in Twisp.......

14. Enjoy the 'X-tine,' Michelle, although I prefer X-ine (sounds like a punk-grunge singer, doesn't it?) since we need to get the whole Christ out of the secular party. Separation of Frank Church & State, you know.

15. Dang! I missed most of it!

Does anyone have a text of his press conference yet?

Posted by: Deborah on January 7, 2005 04:17 PM

16. Sandalista, yes, all that. But that's just how it flowed out of my mind, so I'll stick with it. But thanks for your comments and GO, Dino!
