Wehby is much more D than R from what I have read here
It's Oregon... anything to the right of Michael Moore is a blessing. Wehby is probably as good as it's going to get for states like that. But.. wait... certainly somewhere there's West Coast version of Christine O'Donnell who can take the nomination by storm (and crash in the general)!
There is a primary battle going on ...lots of mud slinging...Wehby chief competitor voted with Dems many times in legislature...
“Wehby is much more D than R from what I have read here”
She is. But a moderate woman gets the Establishment all excited (a la Carly Fiorina)
I’m pulling for Jason Conger, but she won’t debate him.
You’re right.
Oregon isn't going to have the perfect GOP candidate for U.S. Senate this year but Dr. Wehby is polling pretty darn good so far. How that washes out over time remains to be seen. As many years as I have been around it still astonishes me every time a goofball like Merkley (or Obama) gets elected but here we are and if it swings on a quarter of Portland (and always, so conveniently, the last one to report) it will be the goofball.
Meanwhile, between two 'pubs I will take a libertarian one who aims to repeal bad laws over a so-con who promises to make more (though I would still take either over any democrat socialist). It is NOT that I don't have socially conservative views, rather I think it is a situation akin to a house on fire, and the thing to do right now is extinguish the fire, before all other things.
Wehby = RINO
