Oregon Independent Quits Gubernatorial Race

Oregon State Senator Ben Westlund, an independent candidate for Governor, withdrew on August 10. He said polls have never shown him with more than 14%. Since he had been running to win, and since victory seemed impossible to him, he is withdrawing so as not to injure the Democratic nominee. Westlund is a registered independent, but he was elected to the State Senate as a Republican. However, he is in closer agreement with the Democratic incumbent on the issue of state spending levels.
