Correct. But you might feel less sympathetic if a "special interest" you did not like bought a candidate. Corporations and "special interests" no matter who they are have much deeper pockets than John or Jill Q. Citizen. Wouldn't you rather own your official on a level playing field than that some special interest group owned them? Kate is ethically wrong, fighting for whoever, it does not matter. Being owned is being owned. Oregon is only 1 of 3 states with no campaign spending limits.
We're all special interests. Children, schools, oil, farmers, homeless, car makers: You name it, it's a special interest. The question is, which ones does Kate fight for as a senator, and who's vote will she protect as SOS? My vote's for her.

Glad you two are still going strong. But when you get 600 K from special interests to run for SOS, somebody owns you. Is that fair?
