Looks like the Oregon GOP is firing on all cylinders!

The filing deadline is Tuesday, March 9th.

One would think that in a state in which Bush lost by less than 1%, a first- or second-tier candidate would come forward to challenge Ron Wyden, who is a liberal from Portland and is to the left of 95% of Oregonians. But, alas, that is not the case. Mannix better win the governorship in 2006, because that's got to have been the reason he passed on this race.

Are you joking? We get a three time loser to run against an incumbent Senator and your happy?

I'm 99% certain your being sarcastic. I guess I'm too depressed to know for sure.

It seems like we should be able to have a credible candidate in this race, I mean really. Not a great one, but a credible one.

From an AP article about the American accused of spying for Iraq:

"Lindauer worked at Fortune, U.S. News & World Report and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before beginning her career as a political publicist. She worked for then U.S. Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., before joining the office of former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun as press secretary in 1996."

Too bad we don't have a good candidate running against Wyden. I assume that Oregonians won't like the fact that a former employee of his is a traitor who later spied for Iraq and may have been involved in the plot to assassinate George H.W. Bush.
