A THURSDAY DEBATE BETWEEN INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN U-S SENATOR GORDON SMITH AND DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER JEFF MERKLEY DID LITTLE TO GIVE UNDECIDED VOTERS ANY FRESH IDEAS ABOUT EITHER MAN. IN CLOSING STATEMENTS, SMITH SAID HE HAS CROSSED PARTY LINES TO GET THE JOB DONE IN WASHINGTON. FOR HIS PART, MERKLEY SAID THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. THEY CLASHED OVER TAXES, THE WALL STREET MELTDOWN, GLOBAL WARMING AND NEGATIVE ADVERTISING. |
