I don't think Oregon has a very deep pool of candidates to take on Wyden. They don't seem to have many officeholders, and only one of Oregon's congressmen is Republican. It makes Gordon Smith look like a lucky break.

Gordon Smith is a solid Senator. I read a really good article about the suicide of his son Garrett this weekend. What a heart-wrenching story.

Senator Smith is a real class-act.
