Who told Fish the password? Or did he sneak in behind somebody?

Eeeeep, whoever decided that Nick should act in his own commercials should be fired.

Little guy -- thanks for the heads up. I've updated the post.

I still can't look at Nick Fish without hearing the word "carpetbagger" in my head. Other than stylistically, he's barely different than Ed Garren, a nutball who moved here about two years ago and now wants City Commissioner Seat 2.
I do not respect wannabe politicians who move to Portland from some urban-elsewhere, and within a few years want to run the show here. Settle in, folks. Give yourself a decade or so - at least - to become immersed in this community before you start telling the rest of us everything we're doing wrong.

Nick Fish moved to Portland in 1996; Jim Middaugh moved to Portland in 1992. They're both progressive and actively involved with the community: hardly carpetbaggers.
The choice is clear: Sten-Light or New Guy.
There was a time when incumbents always handpicked their successors: I think that time has past.

Question: If you have $150,000 to spend on a citywide campaign, and you've got a campaign manager (at non-Phil Busse rates) and rent and basics for keeping an office open, so more like $125,000 maximally to talk to 100,000 voters, how much TV time do you buy?

Further, Nick Fish moved to Portland in support of Patricia Schecter's career as a historian, who teaches at PSU, & to whom he is married. I don't really know Nick much, but consider Patricia a friend, not a close one, but an intellectual colleague & comrade certainly. I respect Nick's choice to shape his career cooperatively to enable her to do her scholarship, which is excellent. She's also a committed teacher. My arm's length perception is that Nick has worked quite hard to get grounded here and to pitch in to civic culture in a number of ways. And a labor side labor lawyer is good to have in town and would be good to have in public service.

Does anyone have the stat? Isn't true that almost half the people living in Oregon are now from somewhere else? And, that number goes up daily. I think it's time we get over our little "who's really an Oregonian" complaints and embrace all Oregonians who want to contribute to improving our home.
BTW . . . Nick's 4 year old son? An Oregon native. I can confirm that babies born here don't come with an "O" tatoo at birth.
