A lot of blogs are going on and on about Novick's "attack"mailer on Merkley. Thus far, none of the postings I've seen have given the actual context or even the content of the mailer. Since I received one, I thought I'd share.

Last month, The Oregonian endorsed my pick of Milesnick for the seat.

From their endorsement:

I haven't seen anythingonline about this yet but I just got home from school and all morning there were guys in suits walking around our gym (robertson gym) with some black police cars.

 My other firend also noticed a lot of SUVs from out of state with Obama bumper stickers parked in the main lot.

 When I heard Obama was coming back to Oregon i flipped out -- when i realized he was coming to my high school I almost died!

 I can't wait to meet him -- so happy he cares so much about us he is willing to spend his time here!!!
