It's really a shame the G.O.P. isn't better organized in the Portland area. I know to people in other parts of the country it must seem like Portland is just one big weirdo camp, but really, there are a lot of normal people in Portland. I think a conservative candidate, if he took the right approach, could defeat Vera on this issue alone, if he pointed out how this kind of crap hurts Portland's image, and therefore its economic performance. There are a few areas (NW Portland, Hawthorne) of concentrated weirdness in Portland that are controlling the politics of the whole city.

I don't live in Portland; I live 30 miles away, however, so I do take an interest in this.

It is amazing what the weirdos have done to NW Portland since the early 1990's!

The problem with Portland is that the Oregonian is left wing and the tv news stations are politically correct. They focus on the weirdos living in th NW and working for the city as the leading citizens. No body else can get the media to carry their side of the story! Last but not least is the love affair that so many Portlanders have with the envirals. Most are card carrying/dues paying enviral members. If the ONRC says to vote for a eco terrorists, they vote for the eco terrorists for the environment!

This is done in every liberal major city in America. Portland is not by itself!
