Jeff Merkley, Oregon Senator.? [View all]

We have so few good Progressive Senators..
Been following this guy a little..Seems like he could be a rising star in our attempt to solidify the Progressive Wing of our Party, while dumping our moderates who seem always to be negotiating with the right..You can find a list of these useless Dems who voted for the spending bill yesterday ...

Anyone else been following Merkley?

Could this guy be someone we should push for Pres.in the future?
