An update from something we posted earlier on this very race. This Democrat primary will be the bloodiest Democrat nominating contest in the country (ok, that Clinton v. Obama thing could be bloodier) because the primary is what the race is all about. Kroger will have just about all of the union types behind him, and Macpherson will have the establishment types behind him. Ring the bell – let’s get it on!
SALEM — Oregon attorney general candidate John Kroger on Tuesday notched another endorsement from one of the state’s leading labor unions.In its endorsement, the Oregon AFL-CIO pointed to Kroger’s work as a federal prosecutor, going after corporate scofflaws, including executives at Enron Corp.
“John Kroger has fought against corrupt corporations like Enron whose leadership lined their pockets while robbing hardworking Americans of their pensions,” Oregon AFL-CIO President Tom Chamberlain said in a statement. “He will bring that same tenacity and sense of fairness to the Oregon attorney general’s office.”
The truth is neither Kroger or Macpherson are going to be anything close to Hardy Myers. Of course Hardy endorsed Macpherson in the primary – but that doesn’t mean Mac will be just like that Hardy-boy.
