90. Winning?

Sun Feb 3, 2013, 02:36 PM

Feb 2013

I'll work to make sure my senator is re-elected; that's a win.

I'll desperately support whoever is willing to run against my rep in the house. Defeat him? If you can find a way to oust Greg Walden, let me know. EXCEPT by having him run against Merkley for the senate, a rumor that is currently floating.

A "win" is the election of a left-leaning, non-neoliberal candidate. Just how many of those do you think there will be to support? Find some, and I'll work on it.
