The Fix: Washington 2nd most likely gubernatorial seat to change hands

In an early edition of the Washington Post's political blog The Fix's "Friday Line", Washington state ranked number two in the country in terms of governorships most likely to change parties this fall.

During the last set of rankings from The Fix, nearly a year ago, Washington was ranked third. Eleven states total are up for grabs in 2008.

Chris Cilizza, who ranks the races, touts Rossi's strong polling of late, but gives the caveat that a strong showing from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama (D-Ill.) could keep the tide from turning.

See his analysis below.

2. Washington (D): The minute former state Sen. Dino Rossi (R) decided he was running again, this race had "barnburner" written all over it. Rossi lost to Gov. Christine Gregoire by 129 votes four years ago in a race that many Republicans believe was stolen from them in a series of recounts. Polling shows the race neck and neck, with Rossi running as the change agent against Gregoire who has been in statewide office continually since 1992. But, Washington should be friendly territory for Barack Obama at the top of the ticket and his trickle-down appeal could be just enough to put Gregoire over the line. (Previous ranking: 3)

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.
