Quote of the Day
"Oregon is a model for how to thoughtfully discuss difficult issues. It's that we think government is supposed to be about more than political sound bites and 30-second TV commercials. We understand that's the way much of political debate takes place in our country, and we're going to insist on something different."Link.
-- Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), on his state's doctor-assisted suicide law
In other news out of the Beaver State, it looks like uber-conservative Kevin Mannix -- the GOP chairman with over $500,000 in outstanding debt from his 2002 gubernatorial bid -- will have some company in the 2006 Republican primary for governor.
Blue Oregon passes on the news that Ron Saxton has created an exploratory committee for a run. As Jerome notes over at MyDD, "Saxton was favored in '02 before being knocked out for being "too liberal" in the Republican primary by the social conservative Mannix." Saxton will have to do better than his third place showing in the 2002 primary if he want a shot at the Big Kulongoski, though.
