Dems Claim Win in Wash. Governor's Race

Democrats have claimed victory in the race for Washington governor by a razor-thin margin of eight votes, citing preliminary results of a hand recount they say puts Christine Gregoire in front for the first time.

So let's see:

• Republican Dino Rossi won the first count by 261 votes.
• He won a machine recount by 42 votes.
• Still refusing to concede, DemocRat Christine Gregoire demanded a hand recount of 2.9 million votes. Now the DemocRats are claiming victory on 8 votes.

This is the Al Gore legacy, keep counting the votes until you get the result you want. Now it's all down to what ever decision the State Supreme Court makes.
