This state is so delightfully progressive it curls my toes. Much as I liked Kitzhaber, I think I am going to like our new governor Kate Brown more! She was sworn in yesterday. On Monday this week (when she was still Secretary of State) she made the announcement that the Independent Party of Oregon qualifies to be a MAJOR PARTY claiming as members more than 5% of registered voters as of the 2014 gubernatorial election. The total membership of the Independent Party as of 2/2/15 was 108,742, which is three voters over the minimum to become a major party. I suspect that with the publicity incurred by this landmark change, more people will change their voter registration from Dem or Rep to INDY.

- 27 Jan 2022, 03:49I've gotten quite interested in the flow state...and yes, sometimes I'm in it when kayaking--most of the time, no. I also can get to it other times, like driving on a curvy road, listening to some…

That's very cool, although it seems like Independent and Party do not belong in the same phrase.
