As a Portlander I agree with you. I am also a strong supporter of Steve Novick (threw a bbq for him last Sunday at Glen Otto Park). How do you come down on that race?
Posted by Don Beal at May 6, 2008 12:05 PMi'm for merkley, but i think novick would also be outstanding. i also think either of them has a good shot against smith. so, we win, either way.
Posted by Turkana at May 6, 2008 12:59 PMI hope TLC blogs hard for the winner. Smith has money/media advantages that really need to be offset by the netroots.
Posted by Don Beal at May 6, 2008 01:24 PMthe oregon senate race will be very high profile, so i hope all the blogs cover it. i certainly will!
Posted by Turkana at May 6, 2008 01:59 PMThanks for this post. Vicki has my vote.
I agree that this Senate race is extremely important with the Senate so evenly split as it has been, if a Dem President is to accomplish much. And we'll need support from outside the State. This looks like the year to make the change from Smith to a Dem, and it could help end the paralysis the Senate has been in.
A really great post, Turkana. I'm forwarding to all my friends and family in Oregon.
