SurveyUSA (5/16-18, likely voters and actual voters, 5/5-7 in parens): Kevin Mannix (R) : 46 (41) Mike Erickson (R) : 42 (49) (MoE: ?4.7%) As you probably know, this race was recently shaken up in a big way when Mannix released serious allegations about Erickson's hard-partying past. Among voters who have already returned their ballots in Oregon's mail-in system, Erickson leads...

But in light of today's developments, I forced myself to carve out a few moments on Blogger. My first reaction on reading that Mannix had released the accusations that Erickson had fathered a child and then paid for his girlfriend to abort the baby?...

If Kevin Mannix, a well-known Republican politician, receives the most write-ins, he will probably accept. He is a former state legislator and someone who has organized many initiatives. He was on the ballot for U.S. House in the May 20 primary, in the 5th district, but he lost that primary....

Even the Big Zero's piling on Mike Erickson. Ordinarily, you'd expect them to sit back and quietly cheer on the Democrat contender for Darlene Hooey's cold seat, so this is an unusual turn of events. They even did some homework: Erickson's got a lot of cash, but not much else. Oregon Right To Life won't endorse him, Kevin Mannix won't support him, and even El Gordo de Smitho isn't going...

Believe it or not, Billy Bradbury is "considering" running for Oregon Governor, according to a radio interview clip. You almost have to hope he'll be making that leap. Finally, a candidate that even Kevin Mannix should be able to dispatch!
