It's gotten to the point where I don't listen to the candidates, or read the mailings, or pay any attention to the debates or other rhetoric, or even read much of the Voter's guide. But I do look in the voter's guide at the candidates education, affiliations, and endorsements. Those are usually an accurate indication of where a candidate stands.

In Oregon all voting is vote by mail. Early indications are that ballot returns from rural areas (generally very conservative) are very heavy and ballot returns from Portland (aka Moscow on the Willamette) are very light. Maybe a good indication but I'd be very surprised if some of the entrenched idiots were ousted.
