I'm proud of the Libertarian candidate there, Ruth Bennett, who played spoiler with 63,000 votes.
However, I am very dissapointed with the fact that, according to Politics1, Bennett said she ran solely to draw votes away from Gregoire.
Thanks a lot, Ruth, Thanks a lot.
I assume you are being sarcastic but why is that so different than Michael Badnarik's stated strategy of trying to swing New Mexico and Nevada to Kerry by stealing votes from Bush? It is all just to try to gain media attention for the party.
There is no difference IMHO. It also highlights the basic flaw in the spoiler strategy. If successful them the greater of two evils wins and it further reinforces the wasted vote syndrome.
Our candidates need to run to win.
As far as the recount goes, every precinct which could vote for the office (in this case the entire state) should be recounted.
