Washington State Report: Rossi Crushed, Reichert Behind

Dino Rossi just came on TV, losing 51-49, and talked about how his campaign will go on throughout the week.  Only, King County, Gregoire's base county, hasn't really come in yet.  That means that Rossi has a few days of vote counting before he concedes.  The trends were good in that race and these results bear that out.

In Washington's eighth, Darcy Burner is ahead by 5100 votes, but the count has not moved for hours and the counting machines are really slow and three hours behind.  The trend at the end was against Darcy Burner in this one, and my guess is she'll wind up behind by the end of the night as the more Republican poll voters are counted.  Still, with these initial results she's definitely in a good position to take the seat.

... Pierce absentees are coming in, and Darcy lost 1000 votes.  That's a really good result.

And CNN is calling it for Gregoire.
