Dino Rossi for Governor in 2008

| 1 Comment

Very cool -- Dino Rossi who made a very very close bid for Governorship of WA State in 2004 is coming back for another run. From Sound Politics:

Rossi Kickoff Coverage
It is hardly surprising news. And anyone with even the most arthritic finger on the pulse of local politics knew it was going to happen.

Dino Rossi formally announced his intention to run for governor in 2008 this morning. A crowd of 300 to 400 supporters packed Issaquah's Village Theater to hear the magic words that the GOP faithful have been pinning their hopes on for three years.

For a party that has had its collective head kicked in during the so-called "Blue Wave" of 2006 those in attendance were more than energetic. A sense of confidence and optimism seemed to spring unbidden and stood in contrast to some of the Republican kickoff events in prior election cycles.

Rossi was constantly interrupted throughout his speech with applause and standing ovations.

As historic and unprecedented as the 2004 election recount was, Rossi spent very little time focusing on the controversial past and he barely touched it in passing at the end. While applauding election reform efforts which came as a consequence, cleaning up voter rolls, he said that the focus was on the race ahead.

"This is about the future. And we are not going to get this job done by looking in the rear view mirror at what happened in 2004," Rossi said.

Very cool -- I voted for him in 2004 and was disappointed that the election was so close, especially after all of the voter fraud issues came to light (phony registrations). 2008 will be closely watched. For more on the 2004 election fraud issues, go here and start reading...
