One of our regular features at PolitickerOR.com will be a series of lists that we hope you will enjoy. With the launch of our new Oregon-based political news site, we are pleased to offer our lists of Oregon's Ten Best and Worst Campaigns of the 21st Century.
For the most part, we looked at races that were highly competitive. Some campaigns perform extremely well, but of course, they are expected to win. And there are the so-called sacrificial lambs, running for various offices across the state that are not expected to raise money, go in the mailbox, or even send out press releases; we tried not to bother them.
Remember, this list – like all lists – are highly subjective. And as always, we encourage the feedback of our readers.

One that should have been added...
1998 & the 2000 cycles, Bill Sizemore introduced m59 and m92 &98. All three of these measures were different versions of "paycheck deception" that would have severely undercut labor and progressives from participating in Oregon's political process.
All three of these measures were down by over 70 points. Player behind the scenes to come from behind and win: Roger Gray.
