I've been wondering why Lars Larson endorsed Betsy Johnson. Today he told me.

He is hoping that she will get votes from Dems who don’t like the presumed nominee, Tina Kotek, and vote for the Independent instead, splitting the vote and letting a Republican governor sneak in.

I certainly dislike that man.

2. and because hed be perfectly happy to have her win

Shed give him the policy he wants, but at the same time the ability to blame the results of that policy on a supposed democrat.

4. I really dislike her "schtick."

The whole “plain talkin’” thing. Tremendously appealing. A lot of voters will be swayed and romanced by that, unfortunately.
