I'm thrilled that Kitzhaber won, he was a fantastic governor before and I'm sure he'll be again.

The close race gave me a scare, I can't imagine Dudley as Governor - I thought Oregon was safe from such nonsense candidates.

What I'm taking away from this election is that I need to get more involved campaigning and encouraging people to vote next election year.

Congratulations to Oregon!!!!

I think it is people's nature to dislike their police force.  

I have had very positive experiences with Portland Police.  So much so that I brag about them when I visit friends and family in Texas and Washington.

They have a tough job, putting their lives on the line to protect the rest of us.  They deserve our support and a raise.
