Today is the last day of the fundraising quarter and here in Oregon progressive Democrat Jeff Merkley is running neck and neck against Republican Gordon Smith. Republican Gordon Smith has been propped up by the special interests like big pharma while Merkley's campaign has been fueled by thousands of everyday Americans. Today, I want to take a minute to tell you why I believe Merkley deserves your support.

Here in Oregon, the Smith Campaign has a Pinochio problem. Gordon Smith aired yet another, misleading and deceptive campaign ad. Republican Gordon Smith wants YOU LIBERALS to believe that he's:

A) A champion for gay rights
B) A champion for women's health care
C) An anti-war hero
D) An opponent of oil drilling

Today, Oregon Senate candidate Jeff Merkley held a press conference at Merkley Headquarters addressing the 700 billion dollar bailout proposal by the Bush Administration.

Oregon Senate candidate Jeff Merkley is calling on Republican Gordon Smith to reject giving the Bush Administration a 700 billion dollar blank check with no government accountability. Merkley demanded that Smith reject the package proposed by the administration because it offers no real market reforms, limits on executive compensation, or protections for homeowners.

There are numerous Senate seats up for grabs this election, from North Carolina to Minnesota to my home state of Oregon. The race in Oregon is heating up and the momentum is clearly with progressive Democrat Jeff Merkley. It's no wonder that his opponent, Gordon Smith, decided to launch the worst smear campaign in Oregon's history over the weekend. More below the fold.....

Here in Oregon, the Gordon Smith Campaign, the NRSC and shadowy rightwing lobbyist groups like Employee Freedom Action Committee and Freedom's Watch are rolling around in the mud. A lot of it. Today, the Gordon Smith campaign and the notorious neo-con lobbyist group, Freedom's Watch, both released their own ads attacking Jeff Merkley's record on seniors. Their ads are deceptive, misleading and downright disrespectful to Oregon seniors. More below the fold....

Today, Ned Lamont came out swinging for Oregon Senate candidate Jeff Merkley. If anybody understands how important it is to have a progressive working majority in the Senate, it's Ned Lamont. More below the fold.....

Just like much of the country, Oregonians are fed up with the Republicans and their harmful economic policies. Oregon Senate candidate Jeff Merkley is proud of the fact that Oregon is one of the states with the lowest approval rating of George Bush in the country. But Bush isn't the only Republican Oregonians are fed up with - it seems Republican Gordon Smith is facing his own devastating approval ratings. Only 38% of Oregonians approve of the job Republican Gordon Smith is doing. For an incumbent Republican, that is an astoundingly low approval rating. Oregon's other Senator, Democrat Ron Wyden, enjoys a 56% approval rating. More below the fold....

Just before Obama took the stage and surprised the crowd last night, he took a few moments to remind folks that this election is not just about the White House. On the eve of his speech it's clear Obama realizes how important it is to increase our Democratic numbers in the Senate if we want to see a progressive agenda take shape. More below the fold.....
