        \_ Well, the Sec of State likes him enough to steal the election.
           \_ I guess the Republican leaning election board liked him too.
           \_ Someone had to win. The error measurement of an election is
              greater than the difference of votes in these cases, so it is
              basically a toss-up.

        The May 27 editorial "The President's Pick" incorrectly referred
        to Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor as the daughter of
        "immigrant" parents. Judge Sotomayor's parents were not immigrants
        but were born in Puerto Rico after passage of a 1917 law that
        automatically conferred U.S. citizenship on island-born residents.

OLYMPIA, Washington (AP) -- Republican Dino Rossi came out ahead of Democ rat Christine Gregoire by just 42 votes Wednesday in the recount for Was hington state governor, and the Democrats are expected to demand yet ano ther recount. The contest was the United States' last undecided race for governor. The machine recount of 28 million ballots left Rossi just 42 votes ahead of Gregoire, the state attorney general. That makes it the closest gove rnor's race in Washington history. Rossi had also won the original tally, but his 261-vote margin was so sma ll it triggered an automatic recount. The Republicans called on Gregoire to concede and not drag the state thro ugh a third count that could stretch until Christmas week or longer. But even before the last big surge of ballots was tallied, Democrats had si gnaled they would seek a hand recount in at least part of the state. Rossi, 45, a real estate millionaire and former state Senate budget chair man from the Seattle suburb of Sammamish, was hoping to become the first Republican since 1980 to get elected governor. Gregoire, 57, was hoping to become the state's second woman governor. She carried eight of the 39 counties, most notably the largest, King, which includes heavily Democratic Seattle. Gregoire was strongly backed by th e women's movement and was best known for battling America's tobacco ind ustry.

Today marks the first mass prisoner release since the abuse scandal broke several weeks ago. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had visited the prison Thursday.
