We have all seen the references to the silly season throughout this primary. Well its finally gotten too much for this Democrat - with partisans on both sides acting like the Republicans I despise - whether its supporters of Hillary "The Monster" Clinton or Barack "No Threshold" Obama.
This is no GBCW diary - I will still be coming to DKos and interacting, but I am done with the presidential primary. I will pay less attention to the daily news cycle, stop watching the primary results like an addict, and concetrate on other things. I have already made up my mind, so I will just vote in the Oregon primary on May 20.
Here in Oregon we have the chance to get rid ourselves of that most useless political animal - the "moderate" Republican - in this case Senator Gordon Smith. Every time I hear that phrase - moderate Republican - I wonder "How are they moderating their party?"
I have not yet made up my mind on which Senate candidate to support, and will be looking forward to reading more about them here, at Blue Oregon, and at Loaded Orygun. As a relative new comer to the state, I will be looking for long time residents to better inform me about each of the candidates, as well as for ways to help defeat Senator Smith.
So please talk to me about the Oregon Senate campaign, point me to diaries and other blog posts about the candidates, let me know of any candidate events in PDX.
But please, please don't mention the presidential primary. I have had ENOUGH.
