Bradbury wins Bus Project straw poll
Charlie Burr
Former Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury won a gubernatorial straw poll Sunday at the "Rebooting Democracy" conference sponsored by the Bus Project in Bend.
The Bradbury campaign boasted that this was a big deal for their guy since their chief Democratic rival, former Gov. John Kitzhaber, has had close ties with the Bus Project, a youth-oriented liberal group seeking to spur spur grass-roots political activism. Kitzhaber has been endorsed by state Rep. Jefferson Smith, D-Portland, the group's founder, and his campaign at one point shared office space with the Bus Project.
Final tally: 100 for Bradbury, 77 for Kitzhaber, 2 for Allen Alley and 1 for Chris Dudley.

Seems that the O isn't paying Jeff Mapes to leave his chair and computer screen anymore.

I found the result to be interesting. Personally, I use the difference between Bus Project straw pols and BO contributors' picks to calculate the "hack factor" component of support. Baed on that , Kitz is running at historically high levels.
<h2>Interestingly the record used to be held by Wu, but BO has come around a great deal. Wyden is up there too.</h2>
