AT LEAST OREGON DIDNT LOSE ANY SEATS TO THE FUKIN REPUBS.......

[Parche]

so there...

[nosmokes]

1. dems might lose the governor's chair to a real peach.

[HuckleB]

2. NOPE!

John Kitzhaber wins Oregon's governor race

WOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!

:woohoo:

[nosmokes]

11. i hope you're right, but the count's far from over and kitz ain't exactly

anything to crow about.but dudley is a total disaster.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

14. Dud is conceding as I type this

oh, happy day!

[HuckleB]

18. It's over!!!!

[Arugula Latte]

3. We lost a few in the statehouse, though.

But, all in all, it could have been much worse! :toast:

[HuckleB]

4. At least we have Kitzhaber to keep things in check.

:toast:

[mattvermont]

5. We picked up a dem gov

and more dem reps in the already dem heavy statehouse

[Arugula Latte]

6. That's great. I feel like Vermont and Oregon are kindred spirits in some ways.

I heart Vermont! :loveya:

[gratuitous]

7. Apparently the legislature is going to be close to evenly divided

So there may be less for the governor to do at all in the coming biennium, although the legislature tends to take care of at least some business each session.

[HuckleB]

9. Yes, but without Kitz as a buffer, we might have seen some ugly stuff between now and 2012.

[gratuitous]

12. Oh, definitely

It will be good to have an experienced hand at the helm for the next four years.

[Hello_Kitty]

8. I envy you from here in Arizona, AKA Dumbfuckistan. eom

[HuckleB]

10. I lived there in high school and did my undergrad in Flagstaff.

It was conservative then, but more in the true sense, which I can respect, at least. I'm so sad to see people like Brewer and the others offer their destruction to such a beautiful place. On the other hand, a good friend of ours will be in the House (yes, she's a Dem), and I know she'll fight.

[Hello_Kitty]

13. Katie Hobbs, by any chance? eom

[HuckleB]

19. Yawwh.

[BadGimp]

15. Yup

[femrap]

16. I'm going to start a big rumor

here in Ohio that there are tons of jobs that pay HUGE amounts of money in Oregon....then you can feel my pain. Your bragging isn't appreciated.

[HuckleB]

20. LOL!

They wouldn't stay for long. Our unemployment remains among the worst in the nation.

[femrap]

22. But they couldn't afford to come back....

and your weather is better....

I said it was 'rumor.' Never the Truth.

What industry(ies) was sent to China from your state?

[Quantess]

21. We have high unemployment and fairly low wages,

compared to the rest of the West coast. (at least the wages here are lower than WA and CA), although parts of CA also have dismal unemployment.

[lonestarnot]

17. Shit. I may have to move there.

[MerryBlooms]

23. I was doing a bit of white knuckling over this one.

I just couldn't believe - Chris the Dud? You can't be cereal.
What a huge relief.
Forward!
