The Seattle Times Blethens have endorsed Dino Rossi (R) for Washington State Governor, saying "he can best be trusted to erase the state's huge projected deficit without raising taxes." The Seattle P-I endorses Christine Gregoire (D), pointing out, "Especially for uncertain times, she's a much more proven leader than her Republican rival, former state Sen. Dino Rossi." The Seattle Times, under Blethen leadership, has laid off about 20 percent of its staff this year, so we're a little dubious about their powers of prognostication when it comes to dealing with huge projected deficits.
But you? How do you feel about the governor's race? Comments welcome, and our poll closes tomorrow at 3 p.m. That gives us a jump on the rest of the "voting" going on tomorrow. Just one way Seattlest gives readers more.

This one's closer than I thought it would be.
I'm more worried about this race than the presidential race. It's gonna be a squeaker, I think.
1) I trust magic too. Thanks Times!
2) 190 wins out of 10,000 simulations is not a squeaker. This, however, is a squeaker.
I need the car-racing announcers from Better Off Dead for this poll. "It's an awesome spectacle. An audacious display of seething opponents."
Here's the sound blurb
1) I believe in magic, so I too know that Rossi can fix our budget without raising property taxes. (oh yeah, and you can only raise it 1% a year anyways now thanks to Gregoire).
2) 190 wins out of 10,000 simulations is not a squeaker, by my definition. This, however, is a squeaker.
Oh man, now I sound annoying. Stupid errors making me think I didn't comment.
