It is a reasoned statement that I don't think is over the top at all. Compare to Hilary Clinton. Yes I believe he is that bad for Oregon, and a poor example to be held up as the standard bearer of the state party.
C'mon, dude ! Of course it is. The Hitler ref has become ludicrous in way too many arguments and sadly, truly loses its real meaning. First off, Mannix isn't going to round up Jews, ship 'em off to Harney County and bake 'em to a golden crisp (now, if Cynthia McKinney from GA were running for OR Governor... have reason to worry). Mannix isn't going to invade Idaho for the purposes of anschlauss, and he isn't going to declare war on California (even if he should). Let's keep the arguments a bit more reasonable and believable. Besides, the biggest insult you can make of a Republican these days is to compare them to a Democrat. Why not say Mannix is the second coming of Bob Straub, Barbara Roberts, John Kitzhaber, or even Neil Goldschmidt ? OK, maybe the latter is a bit below the belt.

Naah, he's no Hillary. I don't think we've had that evil a woman in politics that close to the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt.
