A Beer With Steve Novick (No really!)

Steve Novick is running for Senate in Oregon for Gordon Smiths seat.

Steve Novick graduated from Harvard Law before his 22nd birthday. He has impeccable credentials as a progressive and lawyer. He has been endorsed by Oregon Governor Kitzhaber.




The War In Iraq

Like all five Democrats in Oregon's Congressional delegation, I was opposed to the war in Iraq from the beginning. It was a mistake for Congress to give a blank check to a President who never had a coherent rationale for war. Now, we need to get out of Iraq -- and soon. If the U.S. still has military forces in Iraq when I take office in 2009, I will begin work immediately on withdrawing our troops within six months. I would also push for the new president to take up the Baker Commission's recommendation and try to re-engage the regional and international powers that are vital to helping reduce violence and stabilize the country. I believe that new leadership in the White House, coupled with the clear signal that the Congress will no longer support an indefinite military commitment in Iraq, will create a real opportunity for regional diplomacy to rebalance the burden of reconstruction.



Unfortunately Gordon Smith is running with a 10 million dollar war chest according to a man I was discussing Steve with earlier today.





Posted earlier today:


This morning Thom Hartman was talking about Gordon Smiths 5% net approval rating compared against Ron Wyden's 32% net approval rating here in Oregon.

Gordon Smith has a 48% positive rating vs 43% negative rating making him one Pub we could knock out this year. He had a small spike in Dec 06 when he "came out against the war".

I didn't catch what company they were saying had done the stats or where they can be found online?
