Who will win the 2008 Washington Governor race?
Settled as Christine Gregoire (D)
In a rematch of the ultra-competitive 2004 election, democrat Gov. Christine Gregoire comes this year with the advantage of incumbency, as well as the fact that a Republican has not been elected governor here since 1980.
Republican Dino Rossi lost by only 129 votes in '04, and has four years of the Gregoire administration record to attack. Rossi also has strong fundraising abilities -- enough to keep up with Gregoire.
This year’s race has been anything but steady. Last month, Rossi pulled ahead of the governor, 52% to 46%, after trailing behind by four percentage points in August. Gregoire managed to hold solid leads in May, June, and July, after a virtually tied race through March and February. This year’s election is reminiscent of the exciting match up between the two candidates in 2004 that ended with a controversial win for Gregoire that had to be decided by the state’s courts.
