Oregon`s Historic Election (We`re there, John Sinclair!)

Don't Bogart That Victory!

(SALEM, Ore.) - Bottom Lines for Oregon Election 2014? Oregon voters are pretty savvy on a lot of issues; Oregon is a one-party state; money still exercises a lot of speech in Oregon – and “Follow the Money” remains the best political advice; New Jersey, Illinois, Louisiana, Carl Hiaasen’s Florida...aren’t the only states with political soap operas and dubious ethics...

One cannot lead off about Oregon Election 2014 with anything other than the End of Prohibition (again). Whew. It’s been a long haul. It was the fourth try here.

Of course, they feared their Asset Seizure and Butts-in-Jail Beds scams coming to an end.
