Having solved all of the state's other issues, Gregoire is going to take on a crisis that impacts all of us: Gay marriage. I mean just the other day I was looking at our near 9% (16% effective) unemployment rate and declared what a horror it is that I can't gay marry another man.
It was extremely wise of our Governor to call the legislature into an emergency session in 2011 so they would have their plates clear this spring to talk about how to implement this new social contract. If you are detecting sarcasm, its because I'm dishing it with a snow shovel.
Think about it, Gregoire is bringing this issue up now because it tactically makes sense. Having re-elected Patty Murray, Washington voters have demonstrated how far into the ditch they are willing to allow elected officials to run this state and country so long as their leaders have a "D" by their name. Knowing full well she is completely screwed on the state's budget, Gregoire is picking up a flame thrower and setting fire to the building in hopes the GOP will run around with small buckets of water and attempt to clean up her mess.
I don't credit Gregoire or the Democrats for the current state of affairs; they are doing what Democrats do and exactly what they feel the voters want them to do as their barometer and litmus test is never ending reelections. I credit Chris Vance and other establishment Republicans who were essentially "for sale" for the past decade while bringing us lackluster candidates like Mike McGavick and the 3-peat loser Dino Rossi who inspired us in 2004, but only brought a caricature of himself in 2008 and 2010.
What should the GOP do while Gregoire runs around with the flame thrower setting the building on fire? Shut and lock the doors with the entire Democrat controlled legislature inside. Make them own their mess.

I would like to dig about my first dog (I named him Roy rogers), Do you think Gregoire would marry me and roy roger's carcass and perhaps throw in my pet mule, Trigger. We would invite her to the reception?
Well said, Andy. "The Devils gonna do what the Devils gonna do" and the GOP for sale has stood by and watched it all while collecting their personal scratch.
I also laugh at what whores politicians like Gregoire and "republican" Rob Mckenna are. Gregoire said the public and her vies on Homosexual Marriage have "evolved." Makes me laugh knowing she calls herself a Catholic or Christian of some kind. YA, God in all his knowledge and Wisdom could create the Heavens and Earth and see the begginning and End but yet He isn't smart enough to be evolved or as enlightened as the gays and Gregoire. Ha, ha, ha. Judgment day is gonna bite (for some).
