2. Notice that Gordo is really ramping up his TV ads?

Just when I thought he couldn't saturate the local media market any more than he has been since the primaries. His ads were absolutely non-stop last night. At this point, the fever pitch makes him only look desperate, imo.

Merkley is up in the polls. I'm sure every Oregon DUer will do their part to keep the momentum building.

Wyden wants us to send him a Dem, and we're gonna do it!

3. I just heard Gordo complaining about all the out of state money funding Merkley's campaign

Cry me a river, soon-to-be-ex Senator Smith! Just don't pollute it with your food processing plant waste!

Go Merkley!

7. Had I been able to move to Portland a month earlier, I would have!

But couldn't get registered in time.

Some of the props here in California are almost as important to defeat too.
