If the election was held today, he would still win.

Typically, a lib has to do something really bad to fall from grace. Torricelli and Blagojevitch come to mind. Anthony Weiner got away with it till he became a repeat offender, then there’s Charlie Rangel’s tax evasion slap on the wrist by the Democrat held House. And, a although Marion Berry was no longer mayor, he was elected to DC city council. William Jefferson had his “cold cash” in his Katrina struck home, and Alcee Hastings, impeached from his Federal Judgeship and kicked off the bench for soliciting a $150,000 bribe was subsequently elected to the US House.

Interesting that the media didn't want to give this a tiny bit much scrutiny before the November election as it's giving to, say, Scott Walker's opinions about Charles Darwin.

Well, on a search I did of FR related to Oregon, an article from 2006 popped up titled “Oregon has become a single-party dictatorship” . . . so in light of that, I would guess that the AP might feel that it is not necessary to state Kitzhaber’s affiliation.

Well...since Oregon is pretty much a one party state, they really don’t need to.

A democrat asking another democrat to resign for ethics reasons?

Can’t be.

Well, sure. I mean everybody in politics shaves a few corners here and there, right? But this doesn’t look good...

The rats want him to step down not becuase they feel he’s despicable and abused his office but they’re afraid he might bring more of them down with him. Corruption runs deep they’re all in on it. If he resigns it’s out of the news spotlight

By the time she was 29, she was a twice-divorced graduate student at Evergreen State College.

Rachel Corrrie's alma mater. Rachel got run over by a bulldozer, and Hayes is going to get run over by a prosecutor.

Kitzhaber's involvement with Hayes is simply another example of poor character and judgment. Hope he enjoyed that piece of ass; it's going to be very expensive.

They’re the one spewing most from the south end while facing north.

“A democrat asking another democrat to resign for ethics reasons?”

Only because it’s a forgone conclusion that he will HAVE to resign. This will give Courtney & the others cover later on. Otherwise, they’d hang tough like the Dems always do.
