5. What party is he with? The stupid paper isn't mentioning anyones party affiliation.

I've already read two articles. This is just shody and sloppy journalism. Thanks for telling me everything BUT what I want to know. What party he is with. I hate it when they do that.

7. No need for you to apologize. THEY should have mentioned that.

Mc Cain (R) and Obama (D) is journalism 101. They don't even mention the party in election results. That's just shoddy reporting on their behalf. I've seen high school news papers do better work.

8. It's probably nonpartisan

Edited on Wed May-21-08 12:01 AM by sandnsea

Most Oregon mayors aren't party affiliated.

Let me rephrase, most Oregon mayoral elections don't allow a party affiliation.

12. Portland is now the largest city in the US with an openly gay mayor

Providence had held that distinction
