This could be a tight race
This could be a tight race with such a small amount of democratic primary voters money doesn't matter as much. Looks like the DCCC's "in case toxic news breaks" candidate has proven himself worth.
You're kidding, Right? This
You're kidding, Right? This is not news by any stretch of the imagination, since Marks' experience consists mostly of several years as an aide to Kitzhaber, and Edmonson gets his name in the papers.
For all I know, Mr Marks was rolling out the carpet in front of Jesus when he stepped out of the boat on the Sea of Galilee.
Got nothing against him.
Never heard of him.
But tell me again, why is this endorsement by his former boss and a south valley attorney worthy of the keystrokes?
