If the NRSC wants to paint Oregon Senator Ron Wyden as an out of touch D.C. Democrat, they’re gonna have to try harder.
“Despite his claims that he is ‘like Oregon,’ it’s clear from Ron Wyden’s record that he has simply lost touch with his constituents during his 14 years in Washington,” reads a recent NRSC press release. “Senator Wyden is a career politician who has championed a reckless economic agenda that has driven our national debt to a staggering $13 trillion and failed to create jobs as the Evergreen State’s unemployment has skyrocketed to 10.6 percent.”
But it’s hard to blame Wyden for abandoning the voters of the Evergreen State, because it’s a totally different state from the one he represents in the Senate. Washington is the Evergreen State. Wyden enjoys the distinction of representing the Beaver State, Orgeon.
