My comment to: http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/10/secretary_of_state_race_draws.html It probably would have made sense in your "race draws big money" article to point out that one candidate, myself, Seth Woolley, the Pacific Green Party nominee, is not taking anybody's legal bribes from big money. Surely that's newsworthy. It's startling to see that you characterize this race as a battle of proxies for special interest groups (unions and timber companies), as if that's somehow expected behavior of a race, despite the fact that a candidate on the ballot is specifically opposed to that special interest dealing, is campaigning to end such legalized bribery, and isn't taking such bribes himself. Maybe you can do the public a favor by actually mentioning, you know, one sentence about that. If you do not, it leaves your readers with the impression that special interest proxy candidacies are exactly what the Oregonian is perfectly content with in our election system. Please say it ain't so, Dave.
