    Everyone wants more choice in candidates and hate on our two party system. When we get more choices though, everyone hates that also, and it still is really just two choices.

    Politics isn't about being happy. Nobody anywhere ever says "gosh, I love politicians and our system of government".

    There is something like a $700 ROI for every $1 large corporations spend on politics.

    You'd have to be some kind of extremist to be uncorrupted by that.

    I believe betsy takes away votes from drazen. Any rep in Oregon would think they could harvest the independent/moderate vote, I just think many of those will go to Betsy.
    If Tina is beat its nobody's fault but her own she should be try to win over more ind & repub votes and not lose any dem votes.

    Tina said she's a good person and volunteers, John Gruden said he was a good person and went to church.
    I cringe when someone publicly says they a good person.

    Uh, things didn't turn out to well after the dingleberry was elected. Drazen will work to ban abortion and destroy African American history and transgender equality in schools here. No thanks.

    I agree there. You should show you are a good person, not tell everyone you are.

    IMO, no way drazen beats tina becasue of Betsy. To many democrats liberals ind in this State. Betsy takes votes away from Drazen so Tina should win going away. If she doesn't it's her own fault.

    I don't think she does either. Like I said the poll was a small number of voters comparitively. I don't think it's nearly as close as it's being made out to be. Just saying I don't want Drazen as the next Governor.

    I don't think it's going to be enough to give Drazen to win. Best case for Drazen is it's close and she refuses to concede and yells out voter fraud election denier style.

    Thats cool. I feel there are more on the fencers that will gravitate towards Betsy. Tina has a much larger base than the the repub. There are many repub are sick of the party and will jump to Betsy rather than Tina.

    I agree with you. I know it shouldn't matter, but for some reason it does.

    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.
