Randy Leonard for Governor?
The Oregonian's new InPortland section contains this tidbit today:
During the past two weeks, five people have told us they hear Commissioner Randy Leonard is considering a run for governor.He says he would run, but under one condition: "When they move the capital to Portland, where it should be anyway, then I'll run. That's the only way I'd think about it."
The only way? "The only way. I mean, have you ever been to Salem?"
Discuss.

This is beginning to look like a run for Portland Mayor, what with the ever-increasing list of candidates.
Hope (you) get it sorted out by the primary, with a minimum of hard feelings after, since it looks from here like the Repubs are clearing the decks for Mannix.
And if you can't come together to keep that guy from winning, letting Minnis run wild in the House is gonna be a much smaller problem in comparison.
Oregon, in that scenario, could be as bad as Florida.

Isn't it odd how capitals' livability/coolness vary inverseley with the state as a whole? Consider WA, OR, CA vs. TX. Wouldn't want to damage Portland's karma.

Good point, Blue Ora. I guess I am just out, period.
Keep Portland cool.
