Folks are abuzz that Ron Wyden might wind up with a cabinet post, resulting in a special election to fill his Senate seat. There is talk about Jason Atkinson having a run at it, if it comes open.
Now I personally don't see Wyden going anywhere. But if he does, the national GOP will move Heaven and Earth to win - with the Senate so close to a filibuster-proof margin for the democrats, no opportunity can be lost.
As we know, there is a new man in charge of the GOP. What a lot of folks don't know is the new man has a good friend right here in Oregon, and that could be a big influence on how national campaign money and resources flow into the state...
Just saying, this could get interesting...
Been playin' around with bumper stickers. Here's my latest fav:
Republican: Trust, Optimism.
There is a big difference between "us and them". In my case, you can leave your cash on the table to take a leak...and your money will be there when you come back.
Your thoughts?

Republicans: Every tool is a hammer, every problem a thumb.
