| | Gregoire, the state's first female attorney general, is married and has two daughters, one who graduated from high school this spring and another at Harvard Law School. | | | The biggest gaffe during her watch was in 2000, when state lawyers in her office missed a deadline to appeal a case in which a jury awarded $18 million to the families of three developmentally disabled men who were abused in a state-licensed adult family home. | | | Gregoire made a name for herself nationally by negotiating the $206 billion settlement between 46 states and Big Tobacco in 1998. |

| | Mossback: Christine Gregoire, Loser (Seattle Weekly) |
| | Gregoire lost to Rossi by 42 votes (as of this writing); she'd have lost to J.P. Patches in an epic landslide. | | | One almost certain legacy is that her campaign's incompetence has jeopardized other Democrats by validating the GOP strategy: U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell is in serious trouble in 2006 if she draws a Republican opponent who can match her money and her centrism and has a campaign message that connects with voters. | | | It's one reason she lost her House seat to another faux GOP moderate, Rick White, in 1994. |

| | When asked last year in I-884 to raise taxes to fund the provisions of I-728 and I-732, voters rejected it by a 2-1 margin. | | | By increasing the I-601 spending limit by $810 million—the governor is denying the people their right under the law to vote on her tax and expenditures increases. | | | Governor Gregoire has repeatedly stated that "we must change the culture of state government." It is clear from the governor's $203 million in tax increases, $244 million in fund shifts, and $524 million in pension deferments, she is not committed to the POG budget process and fighting for a "sustainable" budget. |
