Yawning Towards The Election
Your Campaign Semi-Update
Truth be told, it hasn't just been baseball which has kept us from posting here. As we've all been managing our way through the final couple of weeks of the election, there simply hasn't really been all that much in the way of anything new to bother ourselves with.
In the final days of campaigning, what you mainly see is steady repetition of some key messages from the candidates and some sharply increased rhetoric against opponents. Pardon us if we find that incredibly uninteresting and entirely unmotivating.
Nonetheless, here's your brief tour through just a couple of the recent final-days campaign news.
The Oregonian, via OregonLive, published transcripts of their interviews with Francesconi and Potter.
Last Friday's "City Matters" column mentioned The Portland Mercury endorsing Francesconi, as did a brief item in the other day's Willamette Week. And The Oregonian editorial board used it as a chance to push Francesconi again.
Today's Oregonian did a compare and contrast on Adams and Fish.
Yesterday's edition of the paper reported on this week's KGW debate between Francesconi and Potter, as did (of course) KGW itself.
Finally, sparing us the trouble, the Mercury this week published a guide to various election night parties, both non-partisan and official candidate events.
