what about the drives from eastern oregon? for rep. bentz and sen. ferrioli?  who come from the other side of the state and have by far the longest drive?  i think that it would be smarter for these two gentlemen to stay put and do the teleconferencing than driving to salem.  they have enough miles to cover.

Talked to my parents last weekend and they told me that if someone from eastern oregon (pendleton and on) you have to drive to The Dalles at 2 am to get the oregonian.

Am orginally from Baker City and I have long found that its full of AP blurbs and then filled with what little news is going on in Baker County. The real news paper is The Record Courier, it not only has the news from Baker County, but from Power Valley to Sumpter and everywhere in between.  The only paper that I subscribe to is the Record Courier.  Its worth the money. Then I moved to The Dalles and never subscribed to that local paper, would always read online, gave me more and worth it.  Seems to me that its worth to save your money and read the online version of your local paper.  With the way the economy is going, subscribe to a paper that gives you the whole scoop, not just one filled with AP Blurbs and the like.

not trying to pry, but what part of the state, in general terms, are you from? sounds central -eastern-southern attitude, a good one at that!

that he's doesnt know eastern oregon and how to serve this huge part of the state. am from baker originally and knew that since smith was from pendleton he had a better sense of how to serve eastern oregon. the commerical about the oregon farm bureau giving him an F, made me livid! you cant forget eastern oregon and feel that with merkley respresenting this part of the state, he would look at the rest of the state, not eastern oregon. one unhappy republican (who voted for obama), thanks ellaz17
