I was in Corvallis earlier tonight to pitch the Republican Meetups as a way to help get Republicans elected in Oregon, and got to catch most of Jason Atkinson's speech to the Benton County Republican Central Committee.
Atkinson was exceptionally good. His time on the stump has polished him. He related many of the same anecdotes I've heard before, but they seemed fresh. His energy was good, slightly subdued and statesmanlike. His trademark good humor was in evidence. And he didn't shy away from any hard questions, including of course one on immigration.
The ORGOP is lucky to be able to field candidates of this caliber. With some professional coaching, I think he'd be even better.
Catch all three GOP candidates at the City Club of Portland on 5/14/06 - just $5 general admission.
