OR-GOV: Brown vs. Buehler

[Calthrina950]

I couldn’t find a thread for this race, so here we go!

First thing I wanted to bring up was from this article:

Now, I don’t believe that Brown is in real danger of losing, but that small of a lead from an internal poll caught my eye.

From what I know, Buehler seems to be a moderate Republican, while Brown is a generic liberal to progressive Democrat. If I were an Oregon voter, I would vote for Buehler, because Brown seems relatively bland and some of her social policy stances are objectionable.

Buheler also supports a Single Payer type of healthcare system

That is a view far to the left of most Republicans. And it's one that I have no problem with, so long as such a program is financially sustainable and bureaucratically feasible, as I always like to emphasize. Sometimes I long for us to have more moderate-to-conservative Democrats and moderate-to-liberal Republicans.

Some of y'all red Oregonians really will vote for someone you disagree more with because of some weird obsession with moderates.

I would certainly take a moderate over a far-left liberal or a far-right conservative any time.
