No matter where I was, i always voted for the D for president although long ago I could vote for a few Oregon Rs. As for Nixon, one of my friends was lamenting what was happening in our country and I asked who she had voted for. Dead silence.
Hatfield and Packwood were two I voted for, consistently.
Yes, until Packwood had his problems. I also voted for Norma Paulus who I actually met one time.
Yup, voted for her, too.
Very smart lady who pulled herself up.
Hatfield, MCcall, Mary Alice Ford, but never Packwood. I couldn't forgive him for defeating Wayne Morse. Plus I had head about his drinking and seen him at Ponchos in Hillsdale drunk and obnoxious.
