OR: Oregonian Summarizes Recent Minor Party News in the Beaver State

From Oregonlive.com:

This is my week to write about Oregon's minor parties, it seems.  Check out my front-page piece about the growth of the Independent Party of Oregon and the strong appeal it has under Oregon's new "fusion voting" law.  The Independent Party is supposed to release the list of legislative candidates seeking its cross-nomination sometime today. We'll cover that when it comes out.  On Friday, they will release the list of candidates running for statewide and congressional office.  I'm interested to see if we will have what is in essence a primary contest between Democrat John Kitzhaber and Republican Chris Dudley for the Independent endorsement for governor.

In the meantime, there's other minor-party news worth noting . . .

The article goes on to cover recent news on the Constitution Party, the Pacific Green Party and the Oregon Progressive Party.
