Oregon: Earl Blumenauer (D) decides not to run for Senate

[Adlai Stevenson]

O God why?  First DeFazio, now Blumenauer...people are wrong when they think politicians are overly and overtly ambitious!  This is the only chance either of them will have at a Senate seat - when they have a chance of beating Smith and serving in the Majority in Washington, D.C. - and both of them turn it down?!   Well, role on David Wu or Ben Westlund.  Smith needs an effective challenger; he is vulnerable.
