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

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.
