1. That's weird. Something's up.

I haven't watched Wyden's ad so I'll take your word for it, but Wyden and gordo puke puke have had an agreement for years that they wouldn't endorse each others' opponent in a re-election. And now Wyden is endorsing Merkley. Wyden must know that gordo puke puke is close to getting the boot and hopes he can push more Dems into the Merkley column.

Go Wyden! 'Bout fucking time you helped us get rid of him.

BTW, has anyone seen any polls? I haven't seen one and have no idea how Merkley is doing.

.8% lead for Merkley. A lot better than the 10 point down he had a not so long ago.
