I also wish that Saxton were pro-life. I'm in a real quandary with this election. I voted for Atkinson in the primary and I really don't want to vote for anyone who is pro-abortion. But at the same time, I definitely don't want that do-nothing idiot Kulongowski to win. I think Saxton is a RINO.

So, do I vote my conscience and throw my vote away on a third party, pro-life candidate or do I vote for the pro-abortion RINO who may be slightly better than the casino loving lefty?

And is there any way to clean up the city of Portland? The mayor and commissioners are all corrupt socialists and a giant embarrassment.

I understand your sense of frustration. It's not an easy choice. I supported Atkinson, but didn't vote for him, having moved across the river a few years ago to improve my take home pay.

There are worse things than a do-nothing Dem, an activist RINO, for instance. Kulongowski hasn't *done* much wrong, or much good either. From a conservative point of view that's not a bad place to be.

I don't remember what Saxton is for, acutually. But I would probably tend to vote for him anyway because shaking up the political machine is a good thing. Kulongowski, as I mentioned above, is certainly at the heart of it.

For the same reasons replacing the corrupt Katz administration with Potter was a plus, even if it didn't fundamentally change the politics of Portland going from far-left, socialist nutcase-led to mid-left soft-socialist semi-rationalism is a good thing.
