Come on, we already had Kitzhaber as Governor for two terms. Bill Bradbury is very progressive, smart, and he wants to start a Bank of Oregon to keep our money local. What are you thinking people? What are you thinking? Bill Bradbury for Governor!

Based on this poll, I'm predicting that Bill Bradbury will win the Democratic nominee!

the poll was taken from currently registered Democratic voters. Before the April deadline, there will be a lot of independents, Greens, and even Republicans that will be switching to vote in the May primary as Democrats. Oregon's 100,000 medical marijuana community is an emerging, powerful voting block that will sway this primary because of the community's outraged at John Kitzhaber over his derogatory remarks about supporters of the OMMA in 1998, calling them "mindless dopers!" Okay, maybe a few, but mostly they're active, and they remember, despite rumors to the contrary, and they're still pissed at being betrayed by then Governor Kitzhaber-

So, they're not Democrats at the moment, but the state-wide plan is to register by April 27th and vote to keep Kitzhaber out.

Personally, I think Bill Bradbury is a great progressive, starting a state bank and fighting to keep the initiative process alive for us while he was Secretary of State. On the other hand, we know Kitzhaber is a shill for the pharmaceutical and insurance industries, where he gets most of his money.

All this poll shows is that voters are more familiar with the Kitzhaber name. When it comes to substantive issues, however, Bradbury has shown a willingness to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to the challenges we face as a state. Personally, I won't vote for someone because of a sense of nostalgia. I'd rather vote for the candidate with the best ideas and the ability to put those ideas into action.
