Title: Commentary on the WA Governor's Race
Post by: mparrish11 on January 04, 2005, 05:23:39 PM

Ken Schram, a commentator for KOMO-TV 4 here in Seattle has a great idea to settle this nightmare called a Governor's race.  Do it on Jeopardy!

Here's the link to the story:

I agree 100% with him on this one!!

I disagree.  It needs to be either a best-of-three "Concentration" (30 panels) or "American Gladiators."  AG *would* be less of a circus, at least.

I can see it now.


Alex: Going in to Final Jeopardy, Dino Rossi has a $6,200 lead over Christine Gregoire.

Christine: No! Count that again, it can't be right!

Why not?  We already had someone on here claiming that the J! staff lost count of how many games Ken won.

(And no recommendations that Rossi and Gregoire go bowling, please.)

Nope -- for politicians of all stripes, "it pays to be ignorant." :-)
