Rossi Donors From '04 Contribute to Gregoire


OLYMPIA — Gov. Christine Gregoire is stealing money from Republican Dino Rossi.

Well, not literally. But as of the beginning of this month, Gregoire had taken in nearly $160,000 from individuals, businesses and political-action committees that gave to Rossi — and not her — during the 2004 election.

While that's just a fraction of the $3.55 million Gregoire has raised for her 2008 campaign, it's a trend that must be at least a little worrisome for Rossi as he begins his second run for governor.

In 2004, despite being a newcomer to statewide politics, Rossi kept pace with Gregoire in fundraising.

But that will be harder to do this time around now that Gregoire has had three years as governor and wields the power to dramatically affect people's lives and livelihoods.
