Kitzhaber will win the general, it won't be close at all.

He's run a good race, gaining experience, learning how to become a candidate. Making the playoffs first time in the game is a nice accomplishment.
 
I hear Kitzhaber's got a better first step, but Dudley's length is really going to give him fits.

Also I posted this topic in the Blazer section of this forum. It's about giving props to a former player. Lets leave the political commentary for the OT section.

Besides, having a former player running for governor has to help a little in recruiting FA's here.

Yeah, he was my pick and I'll be interested to see how the general works out for him. But I'm not so sure a failed election campaign is terribly beneficial, he may have been better served gaining experience in the house or senate instead of vying for the top position in the state.
 
I didn't like Kitzhaber the first time and sure don't want him back. I'm not sure even in Oregon the way the country is going that we will elect Kitzhaber.
 
I'd have to say I think Dudley has a legitimate chance if he indeed wins the republican nominee. I didn't even vote for a democrat nominee, that's how much I disliked both on my ballot.
 
Dudley's cracks me up. He was certainly pro-union when he was a member of the NBA Player Association when he was guaranteed one of the worst contracts on Blazer history. Now he's a cookie cutter Republican scapegoating unions any chance he gets.

Did anyone listen to him in the Republican primary debates? Ugh. He's awful thinking on his toes and can barely compose a coherent thought when he has to step outside his talking points.

Isiah Rider for Mayor 2012!
 
I understand Kitzhaber's strategy will be to continually foul Dudley and send him to the line.
 
Very excited! Ktizhaber's protege is the moron who has currently run the state's economy into the ground - he's tried to run away from that fact, but Dudley will have plenty of money to pin that on him.

FIXED!

And again off topic from the theme of this thread.

He's a mentally challenged sociopath who seeks office through graft and back-room deals for personal financial gain and no other reason.

I don't think he's a sociopath.

Just think if they had to shoot FT's for the win!

Nice! I grew up 4 houses from the Goldschmidts. Dated his daughter for a year or two and used to be tight with his son. We never did find out who the babysitter was though.

Yeah, because the governor of oregon controls the economy. Yep. He's one powerful dude.

The governor has more control than any person on the planet.

If Oregon had the #1 economy in the nation do you think Kulongoski would be taking any of the credit?
 
Who gives a shit. All politicians are worthless.
 
Dudley is not stupid or sociopathic as Maris claimed. Quite the contrary. But I saw his initial press conference. He promised to cut taxes, cut waste, protect the environment and increase education funding. I'm not an economist, I'm a biologist, but I can clearly see the math does not add up.

There are people, like Schonz, who are supporting him based on him being smart and nice. But this is not the NBA Citizenship Award. This is politics in an economic crisis. The problems are not the result of stupidity, they are structural. And I've seen no solutions, just wishing.

He has referenced Schwartzenegger as a model. Maybe he should talk to people in California, where Shwartzenegger is known for his total lack of compassion.

Perhaps, but that's really pretty silly. The governor probably has about 0.0000000000000001% influence on the economy. That could be more than any other single human, but it's still a trivial amount. There are a great number of humans who have influence on the economy (and most of them aren't in Oregon), and besides the humans you've got institutions and nature that influence things too.

I think Kulongoski, being a politician, would take credit for the sky being blue today. That doesn't mean it is his fault when it rains.

What number in the nation does the Oregon economy actually rank, and how has that changed during Kulongoski's term?

So what future former Blazer will be President of the USA?

Would he be known as President James or President Lebron?
