Jeff Merkley's Growing Endorsements

Posted by Ben on March 19, 2008 at 7:45 a.m. in Portland, Politics, News, Oregon
Jeff Merkley is (literally) sprouting endorsements in this latest video!

Sorry, people! I can't help myself with this politics stuff! It'll be short this morning, at least.

I just wanted to share an awesome campaign video from Jeff Merkley, who's running for the Democratic nomination to take on Gordon Smith in November. It's about his "growing" endorsements. Take a look:

I'd also like to thank the Merkley campaign for thinking of me as a community leader enough to put me in their video! My name's around the 31-second mark. It humbles me to no end that they mention me in the same breath as Sam Adams, whom I consider my mentor in public service, and many other stalwart progressives.

Enjoy, and have a great morning!

  • Ben, with your tight connections to the Merkley campaign, could you be the first to publish whatever "anti-war" article/column Merkley claims he previously published?

    Thanks, Hans

    P.S. If they stonewall you too, maybe you could ask Michael to ask Kari to ask Jeff?

    • I don't get it. Was that a shot at Ben?

      Just an FYI, so you don't embarrass yourself in the future, sarcasm in a blog comment really doesn't work unless it's super over the top and unrealistic. I mean, I actually could call Kari and ask him to deliver a message to Jeff. Really, you could too. But we'd both get the same answer. (Rhymes with "O muck an elf")

      Anyway, here's a better slight:

      Hey Ben, since you're such a Merkley hack, why don't you just txt him on his two-way and ask him out for ice cream? While you're at it, see if you can manage to get info about this supposed anti-war article he published.

      I don't know what all this nitpicking anti-war article nonsense is, but it's a total fucking non sequitur in this thread. I'm sure you could have found a better post to make this comment. We have tons of pro-Merkley posts, many of them about his outspoken opposition to war.

      • Sorry, I was out for real with my bff JM. That's what Jeff's bff's call him.

        In seriousnesses, just ask the campaign yourself.

  • Whoa, does Gronke know his name is in this ad?

    • Gronke's a big Merkley fan, you didn't know that?
