Republican in Washington State has a great idea for Ohio

The Vote was much closer than the Presidential certification.
80-65! I'd love to have heard the debate.

Also interesting to note that Washington Republicans demanding a Revote have also adopted the color Orange!

OLYMPIA -- Lawmakers certified Christine Gregoire as governor yesterday, with Democrats quashing continued objections from Republicans and the hopes of thousands of Dino Rossi supporters who staged a revote rebellion outside the Capitol building...

In an 80-65 vote, the Legislature certified the election, and Gregoire will be inaugurated today...

Revote chants rose floated on the cold air like the orange balloons over a crowd plastered with stickers declaring their dissatisfaction: "Dino Rossi is my governor."

Daryl Treadway of Roy wore a loud orange cap and luminescent orange coveralls as his way of saying "we have a corrupt election process in this state."

"The color orange is symbolic of revolution," said Treadway, 58. "King County's been running this state for years, and it's got to end."
