Retired man in his 60s, middle-class, living in a blue state. Pragmatic, politically independent. Low tolerance for extremists on either side. Long for the days of bipartisanship and compromise.
Chris Dudley would have a better chance against Kotek. He nearly beat Kitzhaber.

You get what you pay for when you are a single issue voter.

Exactly. Where is Trump's big, beautiful, health plan promised in 2015? In 2016? In 2017? In 2020? .....

The irony is that even with the predicted Democrat wave in '26, this will be a close race given Kotek's fumbles.

Don't tease us.

Agreed. There is no turning back the clock. It's ass-backwards, but what the Trump administration is doing is almost a gift. An opportunity to rethink priorities and the means to implement them.

Does that require a pre-authorization?

Coast Guard helicopter must remain in Newport, federal judge says in temporary order
"The danger presented by the lack of rescue helicopter coverage justifies” the granting of a temporary order “on an expedited basis,” the judge wrote.

It's nice to see Congress finally pass a bill to release the files. But "as long as investigations are in progress", we might see Trump's tax returns first.

When does Ukraine begin to replicate Russia's targeting of civilian targets vs military targets? Have the Europeans tied their hands?

Daniel Craig is my Bond, just as Christian Bale is my Batman,
Henry Cavill my Superman, Robert Downey Jr. my Iron Man,
Chris Pratt my "Star Lord" and Tom Cruise my Ethan Hunt... I am open to persuasion but it would take much to "love" someone other than my preferences.
