Must do all we can to get out the vote for Kotek and make sure voters are aware of the dirty deals behind Betsy.

        my stomach churn. We cant have an Republican governor after all weve been through. We just cant.

(14,596 posts)4. then why is Drazen polling ahead?
        And why is Knight now throwing money to her? 
He paid Betsy to try and siphon enough Dems to get the Republican a win.

        Signs all over I haven't seen one Tina sign or for the republican.  I wish we had ranked choice voting because as much as I want Tina to win Betsy would be better than the republican.

(12,853 posts)7. Yep, I just finally saw a big Drazan sign
        In front of a huge senior place.  I guess the owners are republicans.  No surprise its not a cheap place.

        She votes to her own benefit and then claims it's bipartisanship.
