The election, I voted a straight Democratic ticket. For the House, I voted for the incumbent. For the State House, I didn’t even have a choice. I wasn’t sure about Kulongoski for governor since he hasn’t been impressive and the Republican Ron Saxton sounds like a moderate. But I’ll take a boring D over an moderate R. I voted no on all but one of the propositions, the prescription drug benefit. The rest sounded dubious or bad (like the parental notification for abortions) and I always vote no on propositions if uncertain.
