Erickson can't say anything positive...about himself
By Wally EdgeLake Oswego businessman Mike Erickson has released his third television ad this campaign season, once again hitting his Democratic opponent state Senator Kurt Schrader on tax increases. Erickson has yet to release a positive ad telling voters why they should vote for him, leading many to believe not even he (or his campaign strategists) believes he has something constructive to add to Oregon's congressional delegation. Take a look.

Poor Quality Ads
On top of the ads being solidly negative, they are also of a very poor quality. The very first ad he put out had a glaring typo, and the graphics on all are poor. For a man who can afford to try to buy the office he is running for, I expect something better. His picture before the ads play makes him look like the kid you just broke your window with his baseball.
But then, I have never been impressed with the acumen of this boob, like so many others have been. He's an empty suit.
That's probably because the
That's probably because the media refuses to write anything about Schrader's past. Like his extra-marital affairs with other people involved in politics.
RE: "That's probably because the" (previous posting)
Your comments re. Kurt Schrader allegedly "having extra-marital affairs" are not only irrelevant but are totally unsubstantiated. On the one hand, I personally don't feel any need for you to provide evidence, since what Schrader does in his personal life is between him and the people involved, as long as it doesn't affect his responsibilities doing the job he is elected to do. On the other hand, it is clear that you are simply trying to "torpedo" his campaign with your garbage. If you really had anything of importance and relevance to say, I figure you'd say it. Since you don't, it's clear that you are simply desperate to smear him.
Republicans, how's that fear and smear working for you this time
Erickson is the one lacking morals in this race. Schrader having affairs? (yawn) Is that all you people have?
