OT - former NBE player wins primary election
Former NBE free throw clunker, Chris Dudley, won the Oregon Republican party primary yesterday for the office of Governor. Dudley beat eight other candidates and received 40% of the vote. Coming in second was businessman Allen Alley. Dudley will face the Democratic primary winner, former two-term Oregon Governor Dr. John Kitzhaber in November.

Dudley ran on what could be described as an "outsider" campaign, claiming his lack of previous connection with government would be an asset in office.

Mark, you spelled his opponent's name incorrectly...I've fixed it for you.

That's Our Padgett......
I saw the article earlier in the day and was going to attach it to the thread we had on the subject of politics......but, I knew Mark would be along shortly and didn't want to deprive him of the pleasure of another thread.

All right, I'll say it. Dudley's primary win was a slam dunk.

If he does not put on a full court press he might not win.

This weekend, Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), was endorsed by the Connecticut Republican party as a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Geeze, I just can't understand her reasoning on this one. Not only is she looking at a massive paycut, she's trying to enter a vocation that has nowhere near the credibility and prestige of her former position.

And her co-workers before were no where near as seedy and corrupt as the group she's trying to join.

A letter to the editor in today's paper gave Chris Dudley a new nickname - Dudley Do Right-Wing.
