Politics Oregon Gov candidates

Listening to her voice makes me cringe like scaping fingernails on a blackboard!

 

Not to mention prevent any movement toward reducing carbon emissions or other environmental issues.

You would think Democrats would be focusing on these important issues rather than politically charged issues that don't make much of a difference.

But it's all politics, so we'll have to get ready for a close race in the hopes that a wingnut who believes in magic over science doesn't gain control of our state.

Whoopee

 

Most dems nowadays are devout, I don't expect many to jump ship.

 

So you think more cult members will jump ship on Drazan then Dems on Tina? I doubt that.

 

I don't think so. I would say that just as easily about Republicans.

They find common ground and say it is ok to vote for independent.

Betsy was a longtime Democrat btw.

 

I think more rep's and will jump ship too Betsy than dems will.
Tina will carry Mult, Lane ,WA & Counties by land slide and Bend Oregon.
A women republican that believes in pro choice will stomach Betsy more so than Tina. Just my 72 year old opinion.

 

Sure do. There are many proc choice republican women that will view Betsy as the more moderate.

 

Don't agree, there're many republican/conservative women and men (maybe they were raised that way and now think for themselves) that are pro choice and have come around on other social issues that will with vote Betsy or Tina.

 

You must know different Republicans than me. The ones in Clackamas County, Multnomah County and Washington County aren't generally like that. They are so far right at the moment it wouldn't matter who you put there.

 

Come on, Trump is no longer President so quit bad mouthing him.

 

I find the premise of "X taking votes away from Y" to be somewhat disingenuous. X would have to have someone's vote in order to take them away from Y, but if they aren't voting for X then they aren't that candidates vote in the first place. Idk. Election season sucks.

None of these candidates are taking my vote from a different one, as I haven't decided yet. I guess that's anecdotal, but that's where I'm at.

 

Im also in the camp that thinks Betsy is taking more votes from Tina. Homeless, crime and drug use is a big concern with the older moderate democrats. Its a big wedge issue being exploited by the republicans right now. People are fed up enough with it all to vote for change of any sort.

 

Which is why Drazen has basically stolen Obama's platform. She says vote for "Change" as much as Johnson says vote for an "Independent Governor"..

This is the problem with voting for Democrats who don't stand for anything except making deals.

 

I know, and I feel dirty for voting for Tina because she sucks. But, I don't think Betsy has a chance and I don't want Drazan.

 

I'm kind of in the same spot. I hate it.

 

Thanks Chris. Tina doesn't sound very nice.

 

Would-be Metolius developers sue Oregon for $30 million, saying state didn’t live up to bargain

Pretty interesting article that mentions 2 of the 3 candidates. I had no idea about this issue. Those developers definitely got hosed, but I doubt they'll be hard up for cash anytime soon.
