  • Okay, So We Had a Little Fun with the Cover
    Editorial Party Favors Okay, so we had a little fun with the cover. For a few brief days in late April and early May 2002, Ron Saxton led the polls in the gubernatorial Republican primary. Under the counsel of longtime Oregon political operative Elaine Franklin, Saxton’s campaign imploded in the final days as he moved aggressively left on social issues, abortion and assisted suicide. Now, four years later, Saxton has a new face to his campaign, new political consultants…and a new political bedfellow, Lars Larson. Has he done wrong? Last month, a Sunday Oregonian editorial began the paper’s campaign for an open primary. The idea, an initiative of political outsiders Phil Keisling and Norma Paulus, is aimed at the November ballot. The Oregonian has consistently argued that partisanship is the root of all evils in Oregon politics. The newspaper made the argument that if someone as moderate and intelligent as Ron Saxton is forced to cuddle up to Lars Larson and the right wingers in order to win his party’s nomination, it proves how broken our state’s partisan political system is. Richard Nixon is the American politician credited with the adage that you run to your party’s extreme base in the primary, and then you run back hard to the middle in the general election. This was Saxton’s strategy, as he took a position on illegal immigration to the right of and in conflict with President Bush during a three-way candidate debate with Kevin Mannix and Jason Atkinson. This hot button issue happens to be the passion of conservative talk show host Lars Larson.

  • Voters' Pamphlet May 21 2002 Primary Election Republican Candidates
    Oregon Secretary of State 2002 Voters’ Pamphlet | May 21, 2002 Primary Election (Republican Candidates) Dear Oregonian As Oregon's Secretary of State, one of my most important goals is to make sure that every Oregonian has the opportunity to register and to vote. Your vote is your voice. Voting gives each individual the power to make decisions about who leads our state and what laws are passed - and I am working hard to provide every Oregonian with the information and inspiration they need to exercise their precious right to vote. The Voters' Pamphlet is the most direct and complete source of information on candidates and issues in our state. I encourage you to use this document as a resource to help you make thoughtful, informed decisions as you vote. Remember: the ballot you cast in May will affect all of our lives and the future of our state. The May 2002 election will be Oregon's second statewide primary conducted entirely by mail. Two years ago, a total of over 900,000 Oregonians cast ballots in the first vote-by-mail Primary. The high turnout during the 2000 Primary reversed a steady twenty-year decline in the number of Oregonians casting Primary Election ballots. In fact, it represented a 16 percent increase over the highest number of votes ever cast in a polling place Primary Election. This year, I challenge Oregon to do even better. The nation is experiencing a disturbing decline in voter participation, particularly among young people. We stand the risk of losing a whole generation of voters.

  • The Riley Reporttm
    THE RILEY REPORTTM Oregon Voter Poll Analysis & Cross Tabulations November 14, 2005 www.rileyresearch.com 9900 S.W. Wilshire, Suite 250, Portland, OR 97225 phone [503] 222-4179 fax [503] 222-4313 INTRODUCTION & METHODOLOGY Riley Research Associates surveyed Oregon voters regarding their opinions on a variety of current subjects. The scientific telephone poll was conducted among 476 registered voters throughout the state. In this recent voter survey, participants needed to have voted in at least one of the past two (primary and general) elections. A sample of 476 provides accuracy to within +/-4.49 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. Fielding took place between October 18th and 25th 2005. A slightly high proportion of women participated, resulting in the decision to weight the sample, to achieve a 53/47 split of women to men as reflective of the voter list. Results may slightly under-represent younger and cell phone-only households, who remain somewhat elusive in traditional phone surveys. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Oregon’s 2006 Race for Governor – Primary Choices Democrats In our last poll (August 2005), incumbent Governor Ted Kulongoski had a decisive edge, well ahead of other Democrat challengers. However, while a large proportion of Democrats is undecided (36 percent), the possible entry of former governor John Kitzhaber has radically changed the Democrats’ primary election landscape: • Kitzhaber (29 percent) and Kulongoski (27 percent) are statistically tied • No one else cracks double-digits • Kitzhaber does especially well among

During that election cycle, the two candidates raised more than $8.7 million, a record1 that will likely be broken in 2006 as both Kulongoski and Mannix face challengers in the May 16 primary. Because so many of the potential candidates have run for state office in the past, it is possible to predict where they may turn in the future for the financial support that will be crucial to their efforts. In races with contested primaries, candidates are locked in a battle over cash long before voters are aware of the particular candidates. Often, a candidacy is not considered viable unless the candidate demonstrates an ability to attract campaign donors. This is especially true in the Oregon race, because so many candidates have expressed an interest in running and because the race promises to be expensive.

Measures on the ballot in 2008 attracted $13 million less than those in 2004, accounting for the difference in the totals raised during the two elections. Candidates actually raised 29 percent more, while political parties raised about the same amount of money. Three statewide offices—Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and Attorney General—up for election in 2008 showed the largest fundraising increase compared to 2004, when all the current officeholders were running for re-election. The 2008 races raised $5.7 million, more than triple the $1.6 million raised in 2004.1 Business and special interests gave $19.6 million, or 36 percent of the total raised in 2008. Labor unions came in a close second with $19.2 million. Individuals gave 11 percent of the contributions. Most of the rest came from candidate self-financing. Approximately 5,500 individuals, or slightly more than 0.1 percent of Oregon's population, gave money to a candidate, party, or ballot measure during the 2008 election cycle.

  • Editorial: Thanks, but No Thanks
    Editorial: Thanks, But No Thanks February, 2002 When asked recently on cable news whether he would take another stab at presidential politics, Pat Buchanan replied, “No, I think the American people have been pretty clear about that.” When you receive, as Buchanan did, less than half the votes that Ralph Nadar got in his 2000 presidential bid, the assessment that the American people are tired of you as a candidate is on mark. Apparently Bill Sizemore doesn’t feel the same way. In ’98 Sizemore ran for governor in Oregon against the Democratic incumbent John Kitzhaber. When it was over, Sizemore received 31 percent of the vote in Oregon. It was the lowest vote total by a candidate from a major party in anyone’s memory. In the election, Sizemore carried about three-quarters of the Republican base and got no support from Independents and Democrats. Oregon voters sent Sizemore a clear message about his chances of being governor in ’98. Zilch. Usually when politicians get messages like that they take an election cycle or two off. Not Sizemore. A January headline in The Oregonian read “Sizemore Pledges to oppose Roberts…” “If the state labor chief gets the GOP nod, the tax foe will run for governor as an independent.” Bill Sizemore served this state well as an initiative leader in the 1990s when the state was run by a monopoly political establishment—Democrats controlled the state house, the congressional delegation, the vast majority of statewide offices, and the media. Yes, it’s true that Republicans during the 1990s controlled the legislature, but the margin was always slight.
