Chris Gregoire declared winner by ABC, CBS, CNN. About to speak on TV.

“All of the negative ads are down. It is time for us to come together as one great state," she says. “I thank and I congratulate my opponent Dino Rossi.”

"We are going to make the dreams of everyone of our children come true in the great state of Washington," she says. "With Barack Obama we're going to make sure every single one of our children has health care."

Barack is staring in this show, really.

“Can you imagine with all we’ve done over the last four years, what we can accomplish with Barack obama as our partner?” Gregoire asks. Then starts the “Yes we can," chant.

Uhh... Did she declare victory? I mean, sounds like it.
