The person who is most happy with the result of this right now is certainly Maria Cantwell.
She needs to be praying and hoping that it stays this way.
You're not the first person to mention that Cantwell was dreading a race from Rossi.

The governorship may be all that stands between the Washington State GOP and oblivion (like MA, itr)
