Oregon certainly does NOT thank the Libertarians! With 70% of the vote counted it is looking like this in the Governor's race:

Ted Kulongoski.... (D)... 473,424 48%
Kevin Mannix....... (R)... 466,778 47%
Tom Cox..............(L)... 45,117 5%

Again.....the "L's" screw the system. And look what is probably going to happen!

Before you blame the L's, my guess is that in both WA and OR, the turnout among conservatives will actually be to blame. Betcha Christian conservatives stayed home. Folks out there are just so discouraged. The entire west coast has falled in the the hands of socialist vipers.

Don't assume all Libertarians will vote for Repubs. Many of them are dopers who are upset because the Dems won't act on marijuana.

Quite bellyaching about the evil Ls. The Ls only flourish when the Rs adopt a me too approach. The Ls help keep a restraint on this moderation. Physician heal thyself.
