Oregon Republicans will gather for their annual Dorchester Conference this weekend without a challenger for U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, the Democratic incumbent. Wyden is quietly heading toward the 2004 election with more than $1 million in the bank. He’s left footprints through every county in the state and carries a reputation for bipartisanship only made stronger by Republican Sen. Gordon Smith’s re-election campaign last year. The annual GOP gathering in Seaside will give the party faithful a chance to cheer Smith’s re-election, celebrate their control of the state House and figure out how President Bush can win Oregon next year....

Five weeks after losing a tight race for Oregon governor, Kevin Mannix resurfaced Wednesday as the sudden odds-on favorite to become chairman of a state Republican Party divided by a bitter leadership fight. The party's current chairman, Perry Atkinson, and his chief rival, Lynn Snodgrass -- recruited for the post by Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore. -- both dropped out of the race and said they would support Mannix. "My concern is reaching out to everybody in the party and pulling everybody together," said Mannix, who as Republican chairman would gain a platform to continue critiquing the work of the man...

Mannix mounts new attack; 'Scare tactic,' Kulongoski says 10/29/02 JEFF MAPES and R. GREGORY NOKES With the heated campaign for governor entering its final week, Republican Kevin Mannix on Monday ratcheted up attacks on Democrat Ted Kulongoski by seeking to tie him to the reversal of a well-publicized murder conviction. The Kulongoski campaign fired back that Mannix's charge was an untrue "scare tactic" in the last days of the race. Meanwhile, Kulongoski and former Gov. Neil Goldschmidt joined at a news conference to argue that Mannix's spending proposals wouldn't help the state's economy recover. Mannix, who was endorsed Monday...

Kulongoski clings to lead, poll shows 11/01/02 JEFF MAPES Democrat Ted Kulongoski continues to hold a measurable -- but by no means secure -- lead over Republican Kevin Mannix in the race for Oregon governor, according to a new poll conducted for The Oregonian and KATU (2). From Our Advertiser The statewide survey showed Kulongoski at 48 percent, with Mannix at 42 percent and Libertarian Tom Cox at 5 percent. The percentage of undecideds has dwindled since early October. As a result, Kulongoski said he is confident of victory if the Democrats get their voters to mail their ballots by...

KGW poll: Governor's race a dead-heat 10/31/2002 By JIM PARKER and VINCE PATTON, KGW Staff With just 5 days until the November election, a new KGW poll of likely Oregon voters shows the race for governor is a dead-heat between Democrat Ted Kulongoski and Republican Kevin Mannix.

Debate draws top candidates into crossfire 10/23/02 R. GREGORY NOKES and JEFF MAPES The two major party candidates for governor attacked each other's records on taxes and managing the state budget Tuesday night in their last debate televised statewide, with each accusing his opponent of distorting his record. Republican Kevin Mannix and Democrat Ted Kulongoski both said the other side is using TV ads to unfairly tie them to a sales tax. Mannix said he regretted voting as a legislator to put a sales tax on the ballot in 1993 to give voters a chance to have their say --...

KGW poll: Oregon governor's race narrows 10/01/2002 By JIM PARKER and VINCE PATTON, KGW Staff A new KGW poll shows Democrat Ted Kulongoski’s lead over Republican Kevin Mannix in the Oregon governor’s race has dwindled to single digits – setting the stage for what analysts predict will be a fight to the finish in November.

The poll conducted for Northwest NewsChannel 8 by Riley Research Associates surveyed 600 likely Oregon voters. It was conducted from Sept. 23...

It was an amazing end to July. Kevin Mannix, the Republican candidate for Oregon governor said that those employees whose retirement plan losses at PGE were due to the shenanigans at parent company ENRON, should receive compensation from the state. If you live in Oregon, that would be from you. (The money the state spends comes out of your pocket.) Next, Ted Kulongowski, the Democrat candidate for Oregon governor said that considering the tight fiscal situation the state faces, bailing those employees out that way is not a good idea. Did you follow that? The conservative wants to spend tax...

Limited results on the web so far, but KATU is giving early results on their site and on TV. So far, it looks like it will be a very close race between Kevin Mannix and Ron Saxton for the Republican gubernatoria nomination. Roberts is trailing a bit behind the other two. Sadly, it looks like Susan Castillo, the union thug candidate will get a majority to take the Superintendent of Public Instruction position.
