Gregoire certified as governor of Washington

OLYMPIA, Wash. --
Democrat Christine Gregoire was certified as the governor of
Washington state on Tuesday, while outside the Capitol her supporters
traded jeers with protesters across a line of state troopers.
Inside the Capitol, Republicans' attempt to delay the election
certification failed after an hour of almost surreally polite debate.
Gregoire lost the first two counts in the amazingly close election,
but won by just 129 votes after a hand recount of 2.9 million ballots.
Next comes Gregoire's inauguration, planned for Wednesday - and then
it's on to the courts.
A hearing in Republican Dino Rossi's election challenge is scheduled
for Friday.
"No do-over, no delay," said Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown,
D-Spokane.
"Let's move on with the business of the Legislature."
Republicans pleaded in vain for a waiting period.
