Both sides respond to GOP Party decision

All sides involved have now responded to this morning's decision to throw out the Democratic Party's lawsuit to change the printed ballots to label gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi as a member of the Republican Party instead of preferring the "G.O.P. Party" in line with new "top two" primary rules.

The Rossi campaign responded first this morning, highlighting the potential chaos that was avoided.

"The judge made the right decision to dismiss this frivolous lawsuit, which was a desperate attempt by the incumbent to throw out military ballots and turn our election system into chaos," said Jill Strait, Rossi spokesperson

See their full statement here.

The state Democrats used portions of the decision to validate their own suit, and

"It's important to note that the judge acknowledged our substantive claim that Republican Dino Rossi's use of the confusing and redundant ‘GOP Party' moniker on the ballot -- contrary to every previous election in which he has participated as a 'Republican' -- could very well engender voter confusion and make a substantial difference in the result of the election," Washington State Democratic Party Chair Dwight Pelz said. "While we were not able to secure an emergency TRO, we are thankful for our day in court, and will not be appealing today's decision.

"It is clear from the efforts of the Rossi campaign and the Washington State Republican Party that they see this confusing and deceptive ballot title as a strategic advantage, as evidenced by their presence in court today to protect their candidate from listing the word ‘Republican' next to his name."

Finally, the state Republican Party weighed in by saying that Gov. Chris Gregoire's "fingerprints" were all over the lawsuit, and that the judge validated their case idea that military ballots would be harmed.

"With this lawsuit Gov. Gregoire has been attempting to open the door for a challenge that will throw out overseas military ballots, while allowing someone else to do the dirty work of disenfranchising brave servicemen and women around the world," Washington State Republican Party Chair Luke Esser said. "We' re gratified that Judge Eadie recognized the threat posed by this lawsuit to overseas military voters, and delighted that all the men and women serving overseas in uniform today can rest assured that their votes will be counted."

Sexy Prom Dress Prom night is


Sexy Prom Dress
Prom night is the occasion most teenagers look forward to. Prom marks the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. It is the night of glamour as it is the last formal
occasion celebrated in high school and it is to be remembered and cherished. This is the reason why dressing up is so important.
Planning for the prom starts weeks in advance with a search for the dress, taking into account material, color and of course, the shoes. These days, it is not enough to be just beautiful. The final effect has to be as stunning and even as sexy as possible. The most popular sexy prom dresses are satin, sequined, vintage and the little black Prom Dresses as well as the hanky hem, the short and spicy prom dress and the classic Cinderella ball gown.
For a sexy prom dress, it is very important to determine the exact kind of dress that would suit you. The dress may look great on a model but it is necessary that it looks great on you too. To that end, take accurate hip, waist and bust measurements. Next, determine the kind of body you have-an A or H type, round or hourglass body-before you ship for a dress to die for.The Prom Dress can be sexier when it's the right color. Dark muted colors like deep gray, wine, forest green, burgundy, midnight blue and cocoa flatter a fuller figure while neutral colors like silver, black, gray, beige, gold and taupe give a longer, leaner look. Long straight cuts and vertical patterns also make the wearer look slim and sexy.
A professional would be able to help design the sexiest dress. There are several online outlets that sell beautiful Prom Dresses. These websites also provide information about choosing the right kind of Prom Dress and also help to design one. These include dresses from popular designers like Jovani, Riva, Alyce, Mori Lee, Cassandra, Je Matadi, Tiffany and Celebrity.
