DOWNSIDE

“Lawyer Supreme” would be a way cooler title (just saying)

Ran on pro-marijuana-legalization platform but, suspiciously, has never been videoed ripping mad bong hits

Trying to get defective Motrin off store shelves before we figure out if you can party on it

Husband’s dream of running a hippie newspaper (Willamette Week) continues to drag the family down

Wouldn’t enforce state’s 2004 ban on same-sex marriage, rendering same-sex marriage dull and ordinary

That Cover Oregon thing refuses to blow over

Probably thinks Adnan did it
