Note well. The margin of victory for the new governor of Washington -- if it holds up -- will most likely be less than 1,000 votes. The Libertarian party candidate for governor received 38,957 votes. In other words, 2% of the vote and about 40 times the margin of victory. Republicans need to think twice about choosing to be the other party of big stupid government. If they want to be that there are millions of limited government believers who would have absolutely no problem watching the Republican party come in 2nd place in race after race around the country. There were 40,000 such voters in the state of Washington alone. Vote totals from Fox are here.
