"I think if Bush had come into office and essentially followed the compassionate, conservative middle-of-the-road policies he promised in his campaign, I don't think there would be quite this degree of anger and hostility and overt opposition,"

And the Taliban and Saddam would still be providing safe haven to their terrosist minions....sheesh what a looney. Sounds like one big reason to never live in or visit Portland.

There will be migrating protesters coming into Portland from ciies like Eugene and other places. I expect to see a big push to have alot of people there protesting Bush's visit.

I was talking to a cop I know at a local bicycle shop in Portland who said they all dread this visit because of the expected protester presence.

It will be interesting to see if they do have numbers show up after all the noise they have been making to do so on other internet sites protest supporters go to.
