Terry's Elections Guide and Predictions: Oregon
Governor (Democratic-held)
Ted Kulongoski (D) 53 - Ron Saxton (R) 46
Ted Kulongoski is the most endangered Democratic incumbent I have met in the basement of a church this year. He came and spoke at NYU Law, but this was during that ridiculous graduate-student strike (yes, you read that right) so progressive public speakers all just agreed to speak off-campus and avoid the hassle, uh, support the cause. At NYU this isn't as big a deal because "on-campus" is such a nebulous concept, so instead of at the law school I saw Kulongoski at the church next door. We talked about whether the Marlins would move to Portland.
