Here, we started hitting the same spot we were in the early 80's, and I think it says a lot about who moved in since then that Libertarian candidate Tom Cox got largely ignored drawing almost 10%, despite being practically a carbon copy of former Governor Tom McCall, who is widely regaurded as being the best thing to happen to Oregon since the British built Fort Vancouver, making Portland the first big commercial center for the territory. Thankfully though, everybody including rural conservatives (who are usually holdouts for candidates like Mannix) saw Mannix should be considered harmful. -- .''`.
