*linked to official press statement
I'm taking it as plausible enough to be true, but I want actual media quotations or press releases before I make the link "confirmed." If I get a link for the official statement, I'd be happy to post it and make it confirmed. Otherwise, with just a blog posting it, I'm not calling it confirmed.
You're linked to it. If you'd like to confirm it for yourself, you have the power. Dial the Portland office and ask to speak to Geoff Stuckart. Is that so hard?
I beg your pardon? The source is listed. Geoff Stuckart is Wyden's spokesperson in Portland. He released the statement to us this morning.
In any case, as Vice-Chair of the DSCC and a staunch member of the liberal caucus, you know he's going to follow Schumer's lead on this one.
Consider it confirmed. I promise.
