ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE RACES...:

Wash. primary results show tight race for governor (RACHEL LA CORTE, 8/26/08, Associated Press)

Democrat Chris Gregoire beat Republican Dino Rossi in Washington state's governor's race by a mere 133 votes four years ago. The sequel looks like it might be just as tight. [...]

With more than 90 percent of the vote counted Monday, Gregoire had 48.4 percent, or 657,181 votes, compared to Rossi's 46.3 percent, or 629,516 votes.

There are more than 64,000 mail-in votes left to count, but the fact that it's already so close could indicate what's in store for what is expected to be the nation's most competitive governor's race.

...that only remains winnable because Maverick is the nominee.
