Oregon Primary Results - (5/21/2002)
KATU-TV ^ | 5/21/2002 | TV

Posted on 05/21/2002 8:27:35 PM PDT by B Knotts

Limited results on the web so far, but KATU is giving early results on their site and on TV. So far, it looks like it will be a very close race between Kevin Mannix and Ron Saxton for the Republican gubernatoria nomination. Roberts is trailing a bit behind the other two.

Sadly, it looks like Susan Castillo, the union thug candidate will get a majority to take the Superintendent of Public Instruction position.

Greg Clapper called it; he predicted a very tight contest, with Kevin Mannix probably squeezing it out.

Do you have any returns from the Schelske vs Boquist race in the 5th Congressional District?

I was looking at some returns and the 5th had the lowest Democratic vote margin of the districts. Schelske can probably get a lot of money and media attention since he is married to Sara Evans and might be able to pick up this seat for the Republicans.

If Mannix wins, at least there will be one R in the three leftist states on the West Coast. I live in USSRW, your sister state to the north: one D for Governor (I use the term loosely), two Ds for Senators (I use the term loosely).

KATU is projecting Boquist as the winner in that race. So, far, he's leading 67-33 over Schelske.

Well, I hope you're correct. I honestly believe that of the three, Roberts had the best chance at winning in the general election.

If Saxton wins the primary, Kulongoski would be certain to win in November, as there would almost definitely be a third-party challenge, perhaps from Bill Sizemore.

If Mannix wins, he will likely lose in November, but, who knows, maybe he's learned from his previous defeats in statewide races.

In the Oregon Court of Appeals race, it (sadly) looks like Schumann will be retained. So far, he's leading 63-37 over David Hunnicutt.

Shaping up to be a nail-biter.

Hmmm...sounds like Saxton is a bit shocked that he's not walking away with this.

I'm monitoring KATU-TV, and he was supposed to talk to them, but is currently unavailable for comment.

I guess we can thank Stan Bunn for Castillo.

Yeah, probably. I'm actually a little surprised that Kremer isn't doing a bit better. I thought he'd at least get enough votes to force a runoff.

The other problem is that the state GOP is second in the Western U.S. only to California's in its ineptitude. We should be easily electing Republicans and conservatives in a state that can get 48% for Bush in a general election against an incumbent Democrat vice president.

Some good news: on the Democrat side, "Red" Bev Stein came in last!

The big challenge in statewide races is offsetting the tri-county area where even the R's are liberal. In local races in Yamhill County we have no problem what-so-ever electing good conservatives to office.

I agree. I live in East Multnomah County, and even here, we elect conservative Republicans to the State House and Senate.

I'm just saying that, for instance, in 2000, when George W. Bush very nearly won the state, we should not have been shutout on all the other statewide races as we were.

I think new leadership in the state party is long overdue.

Now wait just a minute. Simon's gonna win in CA too! So, that means we'll be the only one. What a depressing state of affairs it is too. I so wish Cantwell or Murray were up for reelection this year. Such a bummer.

For those outside Oregon, here's my very brief take on the three G.O.P. candidates for governor (others, feel free to correct me):

Kevin Mannix - Tough-on-crime conservative, former Democrat (pro-life)
Ron Saxton - Liberal, urban Republican of the Hatfield variety (pro-abortion, except perhaps partial birth)
Jack Roberts - Moderate, mainstream "machine" Republican (sort of pro-abortion, against partial birth, favors parental notification)
