Governor Gregoire has, thankfully, announced that she will not run for a third term as Washington State governor. She is heading to Washington DC later today for a one day visit. The question is: Will president Obama offer her a position? and, if so, what position will she be offered? Heaven help the United States if she is going to be the vice president candidate.
Although I am very happy that Washington State is to be rid of one of the most horrendous governors in the history of the state, I fear what damage she will be to the country. As governor, Gregoire never met a tax she did not like, went behind her constituents backs and backed legislation that went against the will of the people. Even though the state is in a four billion dollar budget deficit, she decided to spend four billion dollars on the deep bore viaduct replacement tunnel even though the people voted against it twice. She also signed a budget that contained an illegal food tax (which was overturned by voter initiative a few months later)
