The sound of stealing

....  [John ] Kennedy continued to remain one state short of victory in the Electoral College as night turned into day at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Massachusetts. Bobby [Kennedy’s] growing nervousness finally caused him to blow up at [Chicago Mayor Richard] Daley and demand an explanation as to why the Mayor could be so sure of eventual victory in the state.

What the press neglected to state is that Christine Gregoire is currently Washington State's attorney general who made a previous ruling against what she is doing, now it's in her favor in a tight race for governor, so she is trying to beat the ruling by using the law to grant her the seat. This is nothing but a microcosm of what occurs nation wide with these ultra liberal left wingers.
