In the local new article "Sen. Patty Murray wins fourth term" written by Seattle Times writer Jim Brunner, the final statistics of the election are discussed as well as the conversation between Murray and Rossi."As of Thursday evening, Murray was leading Rossi by more than 45,000 votes, taking 51 percent to Rossi's 49 percent. That's up from a 14,000-vote lead on Election Day. According to a Seattle Times analysis, Rossi would need to get about 54 percent of the estimated 591,000 uncounted ballots statewide to overcome Murray's lead. But nearly 264,000 of those ballots are in King County. Murray's already commanding lead there has only expanded since Election Day. She took 68 percent of the 69,000 King County ballots counted Thursday" (Seattletimes.nwsource.com). As of the end of last week Rossi was in the lead by at least 2 points, yet the "upset" for the republican party happened.
Congress has seen a shift in the way the people want government to be run. Republicans officially have taken the house and it has come to the attention of Obama that the people are unhappy with the change that he said would occur during his term of office.
