10. Huh...?
Then, during his second run (iirc), he made into the governors office for a few days while there was a recount, and one of his first actions was to change the eligibility rules for health coverage FOR KIDS, again, with the result being that thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, were now not eligible for coverage. No health care for poor kids. fabulous.

I don't know what planet you live on, but, in the reality-based one I inhabit, he never "made it into the governor's office for a few days." There was a major recount controversy in his first (not second, BTW -- that one he lost pretty handily) run for the governorship that had him first losing the election, then winning by a narrow margin in the first recount, then losing by an even narrower margin in the final recount (plus months of him appealing the latter), but the election was certified in his Democratic opponent's favor long before the term was to begin. By the time of the inauguration, Gregoire was officially recognized as the victor, and she took the oath of office. Rossi was never governor at any time, period.
