Watkins concedes in state auditor race
SEATTLE (AP) - Republican James Watkins has conceded in the state auditor race and says it doesn't appear he has a chance of defeating Democrat Troy Kelley.
Watkins, a business development consultant, says he wishes Kelley well in filling the vacuum left by longtime auditor Brian Sontag, who is retiring.
With thousands of votes yet to count, Kelley, a state representative from Tacoma, is leading 52 to 48 percent.
Both Kelley and Watkins have a range of experience in the private and public sectors. Watkins ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2010. Kelley was first elected to the state Legislature in 2006.

Colorado is somewhat similar to the State of Washington. Â The schools of lower education are turning out zombies smoking pot.Â
Where's Chaney to complain?! Chaney, better call up Watkins and tell him how angry you are!

Assuming you mean Vice President Dick Cheney, of course.

 @NorthwestEconomist In that case I stand corrected. My apologies for my assumption. Chaney seems to be an odd fellow to say the least.
