We only have a couple of real competitive races this year. Our senator Wyden was never in trouble. He has led by 30+ points in the polls since day one. However we have a couple representative and the governor race that are all very close.The race for governor is tight and interesting. The guy currently in office is term limited so he can't run again. The democrat candidate was a two term governor who took office during the dot com boom (which was very good to this state) and then oversaw the state's collapse after the bust. He also refused to even listen to anyone not in his party and would not work with the then republican majority state legislature. His opponent has never held office before, but was the back-up center for the Trail Blazers for years and is very well liked in the state. He has been smart and knows that a republican can't win the governor's office in this state if he even mentions anything about morals or values so he has focused just on the economy, jobs and education. So basically every other ad is those two explaining how shitty the other guy is. I'm to the point where I hate them both.
