As a conservative Democrat, the union money would usually turn me off. However, Kroger’s vision as opposed to Macpherson’s lack of vision (other than adovacting for the overturn of Measure 11 which over 2/3rds of Oregonians voted for), is the clincher for me.

The "unions" may support Kroger, but this Union Member will voter for MacPherson.

The Union Leaders are Wrong this time!

Art Towers is the insane person running the show at SEIU. He is considered the most difficult person in all of Oregon labor and is the one largely to blame for leading his sheep to punish Macpherson. I truly hope Macpherson wins so Towers’ credibility is seen for what it really is.

Hey Edward — Kroger gets $362,500 from TWO sources but Mac’s the fat cat? Great logic. And Macpehrson’s got a 100 rating from AFSCME. This is revenge for a single act of departure from orthodoxy and SEIU is engaging in political assassination. Apparently the "ethical prosecutor" is capable of being bought, hook, line and memoir

Wow Edward, good use of talking points there. Do you have any original thoughts of your own, or does the Kroger campaign tell everything to say in your daily life? As for the Enron charge, apparently you haven’t seen this:

It is easy to see why Kroger is getting so much union support — he is the pro-worker, pro-consumer candidate running against a fat-cat corporate lawyer whose firm defended Enron!
