With the eyes of America firmly glued to the Olympics, Washington's gubernatorial candidates are busy trying to remind voters that there's a primary election next week. Gov. Chris Gregoire is planning to spend the final few days before Tuesday's election right here in Pierce County. On Saturday, Gregoire plans to visit the Pierce County Democratic Campaign office. On Sunday, she and First Mike are scheduled to drop by the 25th Legislative District's office in Puyallup before heading over to the Puyallup Farmer's Market. And on Monday, Gregoire is expected to show up at a Tacoma General Hospital construction site to symbolize her support for the building trades. Dino Rossi, meanwhile, is spending the next few days east of the Cascades in presumably friendly territory. Rossi is in Chelan/Wenatchee today, the Tri-Cities on Saturday and Spokane on Monday, according to spokeswoman Jill Strait. But that doesn't mean his supporters are writing off Pierce County, which he won by 4 percentage points in 2004. On the contrary, Don Anderson, Pierce County Chairman of Dino Rossi for Governor 2008, said in an e-mail to supporters yesterday that, "If Dino wins big in Pierce County, he wins - period!" "But Christine Gregoire is coming to Pierce County almost every day!" Anderson writes. Click on to read the full e-mail. => Read more! ...
