Dudley's Bread and Circus

Just an observation. But since I closely follow Chris Dudley's tweets, something strikes me. There are an AWFUL lot of fairs, parades, racing events, rodeos etc. filling his days with an occasional Right-Wing radio show appearance thrown in. But this latest tweet really struck a chord:













Passing out candy??

It just highlights the need for a serious candidate even more. Kitzhaber, say what you will, stood up in front of the ONPA board on July 16th and fielded questions on his policies for 75 minutes. The rodeo and pie-eating contest circuit is just so weak. Sure, Kitz is doing it too, I'm sure. But the fact that Kitz has proffered the idea of 7 debates all over the state versus Dudley's counter of TWO (and after the ballots are mailed) tells me that Kitz wants to tell YOU about where he stands on issues. Not give you candy.

And how tone-deaf is a diabetic politician passing out candy?
