he got my vote.
republicans or democrats, it doesn't matter.
the fact that he is an ex-nba player. these guys always got my support.
bill bradley, kevin johnson, charles barkley, you name it.

"head and shoulders above his competitors"...hilarious and original, its funny because its true, he is very tall. taller than most other politicians i'm sure...hahaha...very fresh writing here my friend

Graet! that's all Oregon needs, a dumb jock in charge.

He tanked on his free throws.

It would be good for Oregon if he won. We need a republican governor so that we can bring back a few jobs to the state. Why do think Oregon is allways amoung the top 3 or 4 states for unemployment?
It is because of the damn liberals and there anti business, pro tax, bull shlt way of thinking. They over regulate and over tax large businesses so guess what, those business leave the state, either for foriegn lands or for business friendly states where they don't get screwed so much by the local government.
I know he wont win because there are too many granola munchers in the state, but it is a nice thought anyway.

As an NBA fan, I'd love to see him running for governor.

What the idiot "Dolphan for life" obviously doesn't know is that Dudley attended Yale University and earned degrees in Political Science and Economics. Not to mention his grandfather was an ambassador to Denmark under the Nixon presidency. He's not just some random guy that woke up and said "hey, I think I want to run for governor" or something. He definitely won't win it on popularity as a player considering he was NEVER an allstar or even considered anywhere near an allstar caliber player. So do your homework "Dolphan for Life" before you open your ignorant mouth and show the whole world what a racist bigot you truly are!

Typical flatlander yuppies, still think we are eating bear gizzards and living in soddies here in the greatest part of the greatest state. What is even more impressive is the blind lack of willingness to go beyond party lables... Oh well, after years of bush and his cronies I guess yuo folks deserve a chance to sound like idjits

WOW haha missed 17 out of 18... :/

@Robb B
I appreciate your commitment in changing around the Republican mindset of the past 20 years or so. Most progressives like myself have no problem with fiscally conservative/socially progressive Republicans and I hope Dudley is one of them. Nothing wrong with economic reforms as long as its fair for all hard working citizens, however to completely paint an entire group of unfortunate individuals as lazy because they went bankrupt due to hospital bills is just as bad as calling every single Republican as a racist bigot. 60% of bankruptcies in 2007 were due to mounting medical bills, and 80% of those who went bankrupt had medical insurance. My company's premiums went up 15% which marks the fourth consecutive year of double digit increases in premiums. For all so called conservatives on this board who think this is a sustainable system then I pray none of you comes down with a insurance straining disease because the government services you so detest would be the last remaining for you in avoiding economic catastrophe. Just because some of us require government services, that we the people fund, doesn't make us communists or even socialists. Fortune 500 company A. who can afford to hire "consultive firms" so government can do its bidding is no more hard working than small business guy B. that can't hire good people because they could not afford to buy good medical insurance.
The fallacies of lazy people, hard working, communists, socialists, blah blah blah need to die. They are overgeneralizations and they should die now so we can all work on real solutions.

Hasn't he already stolen enough money?

Do it duds!

a republican wont win in oregon but hey give it a shot i am sure he is no worse then any of the other [profane]s running on the republican side.

chris dudley blows...Sabonis and Ducks were way better than his lame @ss. You think Sabonis could/would run? His wife could drive their car in the victory parade and sideswipe the crowd.

Do 'dumb jocks' attend Yale?

Dolphan 4 life, just keep biting down on that pillow....... if you stay quiet, maybe your boyfriend will play tummy sticks with you after he nuts.

He wouldn't know a primary from a prime rib!

Honestly, I guess you can call me an Eastern Oregon redneck......We all have the chance to move to the LIBERAL MUCK side of the state, but we opt to live here and raise NON gang banging kids. Stop stereotyping people. Take people for who they are as individuals. I dont know CD, but he always appeared to be a man of good character. I am sure he will never get close to winning, but he willl get my vote! He would be better than a tree hugging hippie in a $5,000 suit!

@Max_in_missouri
Boyfriend ? Tummy sticks ? i don't even want to know what that is. I'm sure you know from personal experience seeing as though i have never even heard of that one before.
@missed
Socially progressive republicans - Thanks for the good laugh - republicans have no social conscience - see jack's double post as evidence.
@jack
see above
Vote out all republicans ... and a couple of democrats too

@chris m
UMMMM i'm white also, so i guess that makes you the idiot. Now how does his grand pappy being the ambassador to Denmark under the corrupt Nixon/ (and Ford) presidency make him more qualified to be governor ? He is running on the Republican ticket, that goes to show what his beliefs are.

dolphin fuker,
For the record I am not a republican, I am a member of the libertarian party. I just believe republicans have a lot more common sense then the other major party in our system so I tend to support them instead.
About republicans having no social conscience, what about the fical responsibility and common sense of your kind?
You are funny.

Chris would be better than what they have in there now , corruption demo.Party brought on the bad economy for last 4 years Barny Frank single handily brought Fanni may and freddy mac. it was when the dems got in power 2006 that it went to hell Kick them all OUT !!!!!!!!!!

@Jack
I think you meant Fiscal Responsibility and it was a democrat (Bill Clinton) that took us to a record surplus and balanced the budget. It was Bush JR and the Republican party that took that record surplus and balanced budget and turned it into a record Deficit, Bush JR spent more money than every president before him put together. The Republican party is a racist party filled with old white men who have devoted their lives to the almighty dollar, and their own personal interests, Rather than the interests of the the PEOPLE that they swore an oath to when they took office. This Country NEEDS publicly funded elections. With equal, predetermined amounts of time on every media outlet for each candidate. Until we have that the special interest money will control everything. Quality health care should be a right for EVERY American, even the one's that are less fortunate than you or i Jack. How much money is in your wallet/purse should NEVER determine whether you live or die. Anyone who thinks differently has no social conscience and the last time i checked the republican party is and has been on the side of the insurance company's.

@Dolphan4life, in case you are unaware, it is possible to be a racist against your own race. But anyways, you are clearly a paranoid schizo with too much time on your hands! Not everyone that is rich, white, and republican are corrupt!
