Kevin Mannix for...State Supreme Court?
Gully has an interesting idea for Kevin Mannix, and I have to say it makes some sense — Mannix pulls out of the governor's race, where he has less of a chance to win than a snowball's chances in, um, a place that melts snow; and he files for the Oregon Supreme Court against Robert Durham next year. He is a lawyer, after all.
There are two problems, however: Kevin has lost three statewide races, and doesn't have exactly the best reputation among independents, much less Democrats; and the last time a sitting judge lost his seat in Oregon was, um, well, has it happened? I asked the court's media contact, Jim Nass, and he said it hasn't happened in the more-than 20 years he's been there.
Combine those two things, and the only benefit is one less conservative in the governor's race. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing it happen.
