BREAKING NEWS
This is a FOX NEWS ALERT
 
Hello and I’m Brit Hume so in the close Washington gubernatorial race we haven’t been able to make a call but we now calling the race DINO ROSSI IS GOVERNOR ELECT that is based on the fact the fact the recount has completed and that Dino Rossi is still ahead by 324 votes. No word on If Christine Gregoire has conceded yet but we just don’t see anyway for Gregoire to make up that margin.

Dino Rossi actually becomes the first republican Governor elected in 24 years and the last time Washington had a republican Governor was 1985.

There are many people who are saying he is a possible 2008 or 2012 presidential contender but we I’ll have to see how he does as governor first.
