Gregoire didn't just fight to have all her people's votes counted...She fought hard against her own parties pressure to make sure EVERYONES ballots were counted. The DNC was giving her a hard time, encouraging her to jsut have king county recounted. But she stood by her guns to do the right thing by republicans and democrats alike. She fought for hte will of the voters no matter the outcome. I wish like hell the papers would recognize that move and give her credit where it is clearly due. She won the reward of the just by taking a chance on doing the right thing. She never went hte lawsuit route for republican ballots being casted...she paid for the recount herself rather than hand-pick counties...and as a result she won.

There's a lesson in there for the wise.
