| Description | For the first time since he became a senator in 1997, Oregon Republican Gordon Smith won't be on the leadership team of the GOP presidential campaign in Oregon. The question is whether this is part of his effort to play down his Republican party identification.
John McCain announced that former Oregon Gov. Vic Atiyeh will be honorary chairman of the campaign in Oregon. Every other top GOP official in the state - including Congressman Greg Walden and the Republican leaders of the Legislature - are listed as honorary co-chairs.
But there's no sign of Smith, who had been one of McCain's earliest supporters in the Senate and was listed as long ago as 2006 as McCain's honorary co-chairman in Oregon. |
