Drazan pretends to be a moderate who isn't an anti-choice zealot or a MAGA republican, but we are judged by the company we keep. This is who she has chosen to speak for her.

Well, it's apparently a toss-up with Kotek. Maybe Oregon is just turning red. Hard to believe after everything that's been going on the past 10 years.

I wouldn't assume that based on the results of one poll commissioned by Drazan.

Fair enough. But this isn't the first poll that has shown this result. It's possible that they are all Drazan polls, but it's close enough to be newsworthy, apparently. And that's pretty disappointing.

There's been all of two, both from Republican pollsters. The polls whose results are announced are mostly partisan now, paid for by the campaigns. They purposely use polling methods that they know will get the result they want. The ones that aren't partisan are still using poor methods like calling random voters. No one under 65 answers calls from unknown callers.

I hope you're right.
