Randy Leonard for Governor?
The Oregonian's new InPortland section contains this tidbit today:
During the past two weeks, five people have told us they hear Commissioner Randy Leonard is considering a run for governor.He says he would run, but under one condition: "When they move the capital to Portland, where it should be anyway, then I'll run. That's the only way I'd think about it."
The only way? "The only way. I mean, have you ever been to Salem?"
Discuss.

Isn't it odd how capitals' livability/coolness vary inverseley with the state as a whole? Consider WA, OR, CA vs. TX. Wouldn't want to damage Portland's karma.

Good point, Blue Ora. I guess I am just out, period.
Keep Portland cool.

This is beginning to look like a run for Portland Mayor, what with the ever-increasing list of candidates.
Hope (you) get it sorted out by the primary, with a minimum of hard feelings after, since it looks from here like the Repubs are clearing the decks for Mannix.
And if you can't come together to keep *that* guy from winning, letting Minnis run wild in the House is gonna be a much smaller problem in comparison.
Oregon, in that scenario, could be as bad as Florida.
