Dino Rossi

You should have won!!!
This election was built on poison ground. To many people just don't understand politics enough to know who to really vote for so they follow the show like sheep.
Too many people were voting to be a part of history and not voting for America.

Sorry you lost and don't give up!

Dang! I suppose it was too good to hope for a conservative to hold office in WA state. Those blue slivers on the westside, plus the votes of dead people and cartoon characters are just too much to overcome. It was a valient try, but this state is going to get what it deserves. I just wish those of us who voted with conviction and facts weren't also the victims.

Thanks for adding me Mr. Rossi... (we all know you won the first bout and should be this state's sitting Govenor.) It has been quite the upset that you did not win this round. I must say, your speech at the end was worthy of respect!
Please Don't give up on the people of this state, I ask from the bottom of my family and mine's hearts...Please Please Please run again! We need you in office.

Oh Boy.....
I can only imagine the spending that the ole blister is going to do now...250,000 new state jobs in 2009

Dino, I just wanted to express my appreciation to you for fighting so hard for our state! You did a great job and we are so proud of you! This region is stubborn... and if they can't see the dire need for change in Olympia- and that they had a wonderful opportunity to elect a caring, decent, responsible go-getter, I don't know what it is going to take.
Needless to say, we are all pretty bummed in our household today- and a little bit in shock, but we are very grateful to you and the inspiration you have given to all of us! God bless you richly, Dino!

The answer is simple:
Obama Supporters coming out in droves on election day.

What Obama supporter that doesn't normally vote, but was drawn to the polls to support Obama would turn around and vote for a republican over a democrat?

The simple fact is that this is a very toxic political atmosphere for conservatives. Sad, but true.

It really sucks you didn't win I was really hoping you would win. looks like more years of seattle liberal idiots in control. And high taxes.

How To Deal With Post-Election Depression

Hey dino, I voted for you in 04, and my wife and I both voted for you in 08. We hope that you run again in 2012 because we know that you are the right man for the job.

p.s.
Thanks for mentioning eastern WA. in your debates.
We live in Spokane and sometimes feel like Gregoire doesnt even know we exist over here!

i'm so upset about the election results.
your right for washington state.
and i can't believe people can't see that.
i was hoping you would get rid of the wasl.
that has been doing nothing but keep me from graduating just because i can't pass the math portion.
i've tried so hard too.
you'd think gregoire would be smart enough to see that the wasl is just not working and no one likes it.
