As a long-time PDA member I'm sorely disappointed in this turn of events. For the organization's first entry into the local political scene to be hijacked by a single candidate's campaign is tragic. Such a para-party group can be instrumental in getting those things done that the party itself can't on the one hand, and moving party policy and platform in a progressive direction on the other. To be effective in either role, credibility is key.

All is not lost. PDA's policy is to encourage and support formation of chapters in each congressional district. Lets hope that additional groups form and follow more closely both the spirit and letter of the guidelines provided by the national organization. They'll have the additional obstacle of this sorry episode and its fallout to overcome, but one sockpuppet chapter need not be the end of PDA in Oregon.
