WA Governor Recount Ends With 42-Vote Difference
Republican Dino Rossi came out on top of the gubernatorial recount in Washington state, beating Democrat Christine Gregoire by 42 votes. He had won the initial count by 261 votes. King County (where Seattle is) gave Gregoire a 245-vote swing. It's expected that the Democrats will call for a partial hand recount, which they would have to pay for (25 cents per vote), unless they end up winning the recount.
Sounds to me like Kerry could finance it from the unused portion of his warchest alone.

Not by my standards he isn't. Can't be a millionaire and still be truly pro-life; the guilt would get to you and you'd end up giving it all away to homes for unwed mothers (thus doing your own little part to reduce the abortion rate). No rich person is pro-life, regardless of what they say.

No, I'm a CATHOLIC- I believe in the right to life from conception until natural death- and that we should support that right at any cost.

Actually Rossi is Pro-life white trash. Also Dems had the biggest turnouts in the Convention in the states history. There was too much critical mass to be this close an election. Same for the national. There was fishy things going on here as well. Well We'll see. I personally support a recount.
Sorry about the writing. Robot fingers, you know? Cliff Steele in DOOM PATROL #23
Why did you change from "I" to "we". If it's so fsking important to you, you defend that right at any cost,
We're all human- and should act like it. Part of being human is protecting the next generation from harm and being social. It's also important to you too- because without a consistent right to life, there's nothing to prevent somebody from aborting YOU now. Murder, War, Euthanasia, The Death Penalty, Abortion- it's all the same thing. Kill one person for excess profit that you'll never actually spend anyway- and you've already taken on the sin.
but don't ask "me" to. I don't remember ever signing up for that.
Because I believe EVERYBODY should be pro-life- you signed up for it by being born into a social species. Sorry about that- next life maybe you should be born as something that isn't social and doesn't interact with others of their own species.

I don't care what you are. "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" commonly refer to beliefs about abortion.
And somebody who says they believe in something and then does nothing about it is what?
Whatever you want those words to "really" mean is irrelevant, and saying Rossi -- also Catholic -- is not pro-life based on your unclarified redefinition is stupid.
Hey, I'm not the one who's being hypocritical, claiming to be pro-life and then refusing to do everything possible to reduce abortion.
Your ideas behind those redefinitions are stupid too -- if Bill Gates gave away all he had upon becoming a millionaire, he never would have been able to become a billionaire, and give away the *billions* he has donated to charity
Ah, you mean the billions he has pretended to donate to charity to enhance Microsoft's position in the marketplace.
but that's beside my point, which is that saying Rossi is not pro-life based on your own pet definition is not conducive to reasonable communication.
I never claimed to be REASONABLE when it comes to protecting human life from conception until natural death. That's not something that is REASONABLE- it doesn't come from human reason, it comes from faith in God.

The Washington state governor's race was a statistical tie. Recounts just amount to coin tosses.
Translation: I don't understand statistics.
It is not a statistical tie. The winner is the one with the most legally counted votes. There's no tie unless the actual number ends up being the same.
Honestly, some of you people can't tell the difference between statistical sampling and actual counting. And it's pathetic.
