Hoping They Call the Race!

All day long my friend Eric & I have been watching the vote numbers rise & rise for our gubernatorial race here in Oregon.

We're rooting for Dudley here in our office...but they sure are dragging it on!  He's been up about 12,000-15,000 votes the entire day.  Could they drag this on any longer?!

 

Here's to hoping Dudley can stave off ol' Kitzhaber -- we need some new thoughts & ideas in our executive office.  The same ol' same ol' won't really cut it any longer!

*disclaimer - this post in no way is an attempt to rouse up dissension or angst. just excited for this portion of our election process to be over, and to know who will be leading our state. 

Love Politics!

I love the political season!  That's right I said it...I love it!  Always have.  I guess it's to be expected when you were voted "Most Likely to be President" during Senior awards in high school.  
I mean heck -- you're lookin' at someone who was an honorary page in the Oregon State Senate in the 5th grade, did student legislature thru high school, shadowed a lobbyist, and was an intern for a former Oregon House Majority leader.   Who knows - maybe one day I'll risk a bit and run for a small office or something.   Or I'll just enjoy from the sidelines! :)


There are tons of details that go in to every political decision and outcome - and I love it all!


But what I love more are ideas & most importantly actions that benefit every day Americans & small business owners (one of whom is my boss!) who make this country move and work.  Our focus here in Oregon needs to be jobs jobs jobs (not unusual from the focus of many states across the nation) - as we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.  


Needless to say - it's 10:10pm here on a Tuesday night, and I'm as energized as I was during the normal work day!  I'm looking forward to the final outcome - primarily Oregon's Gubernatorial Race!  So I'll leave with this.....


GO DUDLEY GO!
