(CNN) -- Unofficial results from a manual recount of ballots in King County have tilted the result of the unsettled Washington governor's race for the first time to Democrat Christine Gregoire.
Republican governor-elect Dino Rossi now faces the prospect of losing a race he led after two previous ballot counts.
Except...
King County, which includes Seattle, is a Democratic stronghold where Gregoire won 58 percent of the vote to Rossi's 40 percent.
So... we had a manual recount in a Democratic safe-haven that pushed her over the edge. Let's start the manual recount in a couple big Republican strongholds and just see where it leads them. If this were the other way around, I'd say the same thing. I'm just mentioning this story once, and leaving it at that. Except maybe an update if one of them finally wins. I don't live in WA, so I'm not going to stick my nose in other people's business, you know, like Jesse Jackson in Ohio. What I do find interesting is how, now that they've manually recounted one county that was likely to give Gregoire an edge, the Dems are calling on Rossi to concede.
