GOP ‘tidal wave’: Look who’s closing in on Dem House seat

While most eyes are on the race for the White House, a tight House race in Oregon is also grabbing some attention.

The state’s first congressional district has been without a representative since Democrat David Wu resigned last summer over repeated bizarre behavior.

The district trends Democratic but recent polls show Republican Rob Cornilles surprisingly close to Democratic nominee Suzanne Bonamici.

“As a small-business owner … I have simply felt our interests have not been represented … and our economic situation in Oregon is not getting much better.”

Cornilles explains to WND what issue is paramount in this race and where he and Bonamici differ most strongly.

“She advocates for continued taxes on small businesses. She has not been friendly to small business.”

He also tells us why Obamacare is a major issue in the contest and how Oregon’s mail-in balloting system impacts the race.

If we’re oing to win seats like this one that we shouldn’t, I imagine that Harry Reid is about to become minority leader of the senate and Nancy won’t be getting her private plane back anytime soon.

You go boy! Take the gloves off and keep them off. There are a lot of Liberal Feminazis in Oregon. Don’t “play purty” just because your opponent is of the female gender.

I wonder if the House Com. Pub , that raises money has given any to the GOP candidate? Knowing them,if the man is a conserv,the House Com. will hem and haw about aiding him. It will be up to PACs to aid him to get his message out in a very safe Dem district.If the Wu seat goes Pub, something is really up for Nov.
