 OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Gov. Christine Gregoire got elected last year by just 129 votes, and her hold on the office is under legal attack. But she is governing as if she won by a landslide.
"You know, I didn't come here to be shy," said the former state attorney general who battled breast cancer, the tobacco industry, corporate polluters and finally a surprisingly tough Republican opponent on her road to the Governor's Mansion.
While waiting for the next chapter to unfold in a small-town courtroom, Gregoire has shown a spark that was missing from her campaign.
