Four contenders vying for the opportunity to challenge David Wu in Oregon’s first congressional district spoke before Labor Day’s Tax Referral Tea Party. As the event agenda was closely choreographed each contender was instructed to prepare for no more than three minutes of speaking time — not an easy task. How these contenders treated that limitation may tell us something about how they would represent the interests of Oregon’s first congressional district. Using the candidates treatment of the limitation as a yardstick, Doug Keller presented the best management, Rob Cornilles didn’t.
