It's been rumored for almost 2 years that the Republicans will run a organized campaign in 2016 to defeat Wyden based on the "fact" that he is a New York Jew and doesn't represent Oregon. Pete DeFazio is my Congressman and I am so proud to support him. After a campaign he urges folks to keep their yard signs and just reuse them in 2 years. A good idea. There is zero chance that DeFazio will run for the Senate against Wyden because Wyden is somehow loyal to Israel. That's a Republican technique.

The last reason for DeFazio to run against Wyden is how religion affects Wyden's decisions... cascadiance Aug 2015 #11

That gets into a really ugly area. Ken Burch Oct 2015 #13

Seems that as of today, he is supporting it. SoapBox Sep 2015 #12
