FeedsReplying to a comment on Novick and the Dude
Now, James please correct me if I misconstrue your remarks: I don't think he was going for the "we need stuffy pols" idea. I believe he was after the idea that he envisions U.S. Senators having a certain statesman-like quality that doesn't see in Novick when he presents himself in this manner, as a pirate or in the context of The Dude.
Sure, there's always room for humor and laughter in a Senate campaign (especially when we laugh at Gordon Smith and those who would prop up his record or call him a "moderate"). I think he's saying this sort of "humor" that the Novick campaign has been putting out there isn't quite befitting of a U.S. Senate race. Well, "think" is perhaps not quite right, since it seems to be exactly what he's saying.
But, you're right. I don't want a stick-in-the-mud either. And I know for sure that neither Merkley nor Novick will provide that. But I also place myself in the group that thinks that Jeff gives us the best shot at sending Gordo packing. So, what're you gonna do...
