Dudley Forces Race Into Toss-Up Column
Can former NBA player Chris Dudley (R) really be making a race out of it with former Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber (D)? That's what polls say, but it's hard to fathom. Nonetheless, I'm moving this into the toss-up category. But I still think Kitzhaber wins. -Ken Rudin

In Oregon, The Ball Seems To Be In Kitzhaber's Court
Incumbent Ted Kulongoski (D), first elected in 2002, is term limited. No Republican has been elected governor here since 1982 -- no surprise in a state that is seen as a Democratic bastion. But the GOP has an opportunity this year, helped in part because Kulongoski has terrible polling numbers. In fact, there was a brief effort four years ago by Democrats to get former Gov. John Kitzhaber to challenge him in the primary. While that never happened, Kitzhaber is back this year as the Democratic nominee -- one of five former governors hoping to win his job back. But the Republicans have come up with an interesting choice: Chris Dudley, a former basketball player for the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. -Ken Rudin
