Last night I projected that Carolyn Edmonds would take the lead over Bob Ferguson once today’s batch of absentee ballots were counted. Um… man am I glad I added the following caveat:
Still, in Ferguson’s favor, projections like this turned out to be a complete and utter load of crap during the first count in last November’s gubernatorial race.
As it turned out, Ferguson expanded his lead to 134 votes, taking a 9583 to 9449 advantage. Oops.
Gosh, 134 votes… now why does that sound familiar?
Will King County “find” a few more votes, or will “bused in” blacks make a difference?
does anyone actually care???
Hmmm…I wonder if Bridges has anything else planned for next month?
The absentee ballots counted today showed quite different trends than those counted yesterday. And in most of the races, not just Ferguson/Edmonds. Maybe the ones counted today were mostly from the absentee ballots turned in at the polling place. I think folks who turn in their absentee ballots at the polling place tend to be more liberal than other absentee voters. Last November, there was a similar anomaly when they were mostly counting polling place absentee ballots on one of the days after the election. Those ballots were several more points pro-Gregoire than the rest of the county.
Now you know why Goldy calls it horsesass.Because of all horse shit from him and this blog.
YO @ 5,
“Now you know why Goldy calls it horsesass.Because of all horse shit from him and this blog.”
But, apparently, you knowingly and willingly consume what he produces.
Hmmmm…that doesn’t look too good for you.
Just out of curiousity. I was in the military and stationed not here at the time, did the horsesass.org website start before the Tim Eyman is a horsesass initiative or did the website get its name from that???
Piehole @7,
A little known fact is that the website actually preceded the writing and filing of the initiative. I had joked about such an initiative with friends for a couple years (it actually evolved from a “free beer” initiative,) and in Nov. of 2002 built the website for the fictitious initiative as a self-tutorial in getting up to speed on Adobe GoLive. When I was done, I was so amused with the result, that I bought the domain name, took the site live, and then wrote and filed the initiative. A couple weeks later, the media discovered my initiative, and the rest is history.
In May of 2004 I turned the website into a blog, keeping the domain name from the initiative. And the rest is, um… history too.
Someday Goldy;
You maybe a Trivial Pursuit Seattle Edition question!!!
I will now know the answer!!!
I wonder why Stefan isn’t writing more about the primary election results? He seems focused on election errors instead.
Stefan could be making a big deal about Ron Sims getting only about 43% of the total primary vote. Or giving his own take in the Carolyn Edmonds/Bob Ferguson race — which after all is in his own county council district.
Unfortunately, we are learning things such as:
Dean Logan teaches pollworkers to accept illegal votes
More disinformation from Baghdad Bobbie (Egan, who is Dean Logan’s spokesperson)
Sam Reed has premature ejaculation (by praising Dean Logan)
RPope: It’s all about priorities. Goldy has a fetish on Stefan and Dino. Maybe because they are doing something else besides providing a one-sided view on life. Stefan’s priorities are on correct pre-vote lists and vote counting procedures. Dino’s priorities are his family right now!!!
In democracy its the vote that counts – in Seattle its the count that votes.
If only we could get the Dems fighting amongst themselves over a Loganized vote…then we’d get some reform
If Ferguson wins, maybe we will.
Goldy has a fetish on Stefan and Dino. Maybe because they are doing something else besides providing a one-sided view on life.
Great. Now I’ve got to clean my breakfast off my computer screen.
geeze what is it with you righties and projection?
You *always* take your foibles and pretend their ours, ALWAYS!
Stefan’s particular crusade is exposing the weaknesses in the elections system — particularly in King County. If even a fraction of what he says is true — and the posted evidence (letters, etc.) are definitely that — there are significant flaws in the system that either have been or could be manipulated to create fraudulent results. It is his choice to talk about what he wants to talk about.
Goldy, OTOH, rails on about all kinds of things from a Lefty perspective (I refuse to call them “progressive”) and with a clear editorial bias (note the different treatment of officials based on party).
If you specifically want Ron Sims info (mostly MSM links), just go to AnotherDayWithRon.com.
If you want to read lunatic rantings, just go to jbs.org, themilitant.com or MoveOn.org — pretty much the same content, with the names of the people involved switched around.
There are blogs and websites for everyone!
Someday Goldy’s gonna be famous…
Does he have talent…..well, no.
These days you don’t really need it.
Thanks to blogs and bullshit.
Cuz when Goldy’s a celbrity
It’s adios reality.
Goldy act just like a fool
and LEFTIST PINHEADS think he’s cool
Just cuz he’s on a Blog.
Goldy throws a major fit
When his latte isn’t just how he likes it
They say Goldy’s gone insane
Goldy blames it on the fame
And pressures that go with
Being a celebrity!
Brad Paisley obviously had some arrogant LEFTIST PINHEAD self-absorbed clown in mind when he wrote this song.
Do you know Brad Paisley Goldy???
He seems to know you!
Why oh why do we let Republicans run this country:
ROBERTSON BLAMES HURRICANE ON CHOICE OF ELLEN DEGENERES TO HOST EMMYS
Lesbian is New Orleans native
Hollywood – Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. “By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”
Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.
“This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly before lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards,” Robertson explained to his approximately one million viewers. “America is waiting for her to apologize for the death and destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation.”
Robertson added that other tragedies of the past several years can be linked to Degeneres’ growing national prominence. September, 2003, for example, is both the month that her talk show debuted and when insurgents first gained a foothold in Iraq following the successful March invasion. “Now we know why things took a turn for the worse,” he explained.

Personally, I like this theory for the destruction of New Orleans:

JDB @ 20 – Uhhh… cause you guys are wrong about everything?
Yeah, that’s it…
JDB @ 20
You and Pat Robertson both have it wrong. God isn’t upset because Ellen is a lesbian, but he is ticked off. He’s more upset because her schtick is tired and her 15 minutes are up. He much prefers fresh talent like Carlos Mencia.
Yeah, like God doesn’t have anything better to do!
So what do you guys think of Bush Drinking Again.?
David – The same national enquirer link you provided also says that President Bush is actually Elvis. The article goes on to report that GWB is currently vacationing at Area 51.
As for those who refuse to leave, Gov. Kathleen Blanco advised: “Perhaps they should write their Social Security numbers on their arms with indelible ink.”
Can you imagine what would happen if GWB said that?
David @ 23
Uh, Davey Boy, have you ever heard of Photoshop? Or all you Kool-Aid-sipping-MorOn.org Lefties just stupid & gullible??
Hey Mark @ 26,
Admittedly there have been many photoshopped photos of Shrub doing all kinds of things, but this picture was not a photoshop creation. Instead, it is a vidcap from Dubya’s famous “one finger victory salute.”
I think he was running for TX Governor at the time.
Here’s the video: http://www.milkandcookies.com/links/21502/details/
Yea, yea, we’ve heard it all before: Bush did it, Bush didn’t do it, Bush did it but he didn’t do enough, Bush was too late… blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…
“ But then again, that’s President Bush’s fault, too. He has too many FBI agents prosecuting porn, he failed to meet with Cindy Sheehan, he put up a racist John Roberts to take away black peoples’ right to vote, he personally is going to put a chastity belt on every single woman in America, he will make slaves of everyone who says “nuclear,” he’s the most homophobic president who has ever served, he drove the truck that dragged James Byrd to death, he didn’t dial up Batman to swing into action, or Superman to use his X-ray vision to spot the goods, there were no weapons of mass destruction, 9-11 was really America’s fault and, last but not least, he bribed the Supreme Court in 2000 to give him the election.“
.“ Yes, such astounding proof pretty much settles it. .“
3 years, 4 months fringies: get used to it and please, please, please keep devolving! We love seeing/hearing/witnessing you progressives remain “STUCK ON STUPID”!
A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader. -Harry S. Truman, Thirty-third Pesident of the United States of America, Democrat.
The Robertson/Degeneres article is a hoax. Sheesh people. It’s bad enough when right-wingers pass around UL and hoaxes without lefties falling for the same crap too.
dj @ 27
Hmmm… interesting. Mountain… molehill, nonetheless.
Personally, I wish Republicans would swear a bit more in public and the Dems a bit less.
Carolyn Edmonds is now 79 votes ahead of Bob Ferguson: 10,443 to 10,364.

Aexia: That’s the reason I named JDB, JustDumbBozo. Link investigations are never performed, and he sees something to post for his “look at me moment”, he immediately wastes pixels. JustDumbBozo also implements selective paragraph surgery. JustDumbBozo will take the part of the paragraph that satifies his lefty lunacy and use that as his point attack. When called upon it, his good friend the cluelessone will call people freepers. I am glad you identified stoopidy where it lands. JustDumbBozo, You are stuck on Stupid.
