Soaring debt devouring more and more property taxes, starved basic services, worsening traffic ignored, and a severe shortage of affordable housing makes Lehan's Wilsonville what the county does NOT want to repeat county wide. <BR/><BR/>Mowry over Lehan is as much a no brainer as Roberts over LaManna.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-37887580174084061772008-05-24T21:36:00.000-07:002008-05-24T21:36:00.000-07:00Rob, Looking forward to more info on Mowry.

I am surprised voters did not see thru Erickson as well as they did Lamanna.<BR/><BR/>I said good riddance to Pdx 15 years ago. <BR/><BR/>GibbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-20334509328209842652008-05-24T19:15:00.000-07:002008-05-24T19:15:00.000-07:00rob- CD 5 failures all around.first - Mannix shoul...rob- CD 5 failures all around.<BR/><BR/>first - Mannix should never had to release the information about Erickson. Oregon Right to Life had the info for two years. They should have released it or gotten it to Nigel Jaquiss or someone to get it out. If they had, Mannix would likely be the nominee.<BR/><BR/>second - Erickson botched bigtime the response. Had he held a press conference and acknowledged a mistake, ask for forgiveness and told all how this one mistake has changed his life it would have been a one day story and his attacks on Mannix mudslinging would have had some credibility. He, we all, would be surprised at how forgiving the public is. Admit, ask for forgiveness, acknowledge how the event changed his perspectives on the life issue. <BR/><BR/>third - Rob, to say that this event will dissuade business people from running for office is ridiculous. Only business people who pay for ex-girlfriends abortions and then lie about it maybe. Mike made his bed and now he will sleep in it. Unfortunately, for all of us we get the benefit of another Democrat in Congress. Mike should withdraw and let the GOP appoint a replacement. Business people should be encouraged to run for office, the electorate doesn't expect perfection but honesty. No one is perfect, everyone has done things that they would not want on the front page of the Oregonian. Honesty - Mike is not honest - or he is an idiot ($300 and dropping off the girl but no idea what for) yeah right.<BR/><BR/>Wrap - ORTL responsible for Schrader in Congress, Mike botched the response and honest business people should run for public office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-44353846442727444302008-05-24T13:07:00.000-07:002008-05-24T13:07:00.000-07:00If you've heard of Tony Rezko ... then this is wha...If you've heard of Tony Rezko ... then this is what that's all about: a federal investigation called Operation Board Games aimed at corruption/payola in Chicago politics called "pay to play".<BR/><BR/>The whole story unfolds:<BR/><BR/>http://www.opednews.com/author/author58.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
