Washington gubernatorial election, 2004

This article deals with a tumultuous electoral fiasco which has caused serious reverberations throughout the political structure of the state of Washington. While the final resolution to the entire topic is not completed, currently in litigation, the political situation in Washington is otherwise quite stable, with Gov. Christine Gregoire having actively served as governor for two months as of tomorrow.

It was nominated for FAC in early Feb, but was closely rejected for a variety of vague reasons. I would say that all of the actionable objections to the article's candidacy have been addressed, with the exception of some people's objections that an article can not be high quality if the world has not yet been polite enough to finish turning and bring its topic to complete closure. </rant>

Anyway, before proposing a renom, I am looking for more outside input.

What I don't see on this page is any information about the platforms on which the two key candidates ran. I didn't see any mention of the issue concerning the missed filing deadline that cost the state $19 million, and which Rossi played up in his radio ads. Rossi also had a, IMO, fairly effective, family-friendly TV campaign in which his daughter played a notable role. Christine, meanwhile, suffered a bit from a paucity of charisma, &c. Otherwise the page does look pretty decent. It is a little close to the election still, however, so history may judge things differently.
