I’ve been reading the various articles and associated posts linked at the end of this story. We have our work cut out for us. Lot’s of positive response but the general boo birds and the “I’m against everything that doesn’t specifically benefit me” crowd are also speaking up. The MLB to PDX hangers-on are not helping either.

Mostly, I’m bothered by the disinformation/misinformation posters. Let’s do what we can to at least get the correct facts and information out there. Great work Bob!!

A lot of National blogs now have something on their websites regarding this. PDX has a lot of support around the country.

Bob many thanks…I know i was refreshing my browser every couple seconds to see what was going on…As you I was very surprised about San Diego being mentioned, that one is kinda out there, but perhaps, as you mentioned, Paulson was just trying to show there is alot of competition and that this is something we have to take seriously to get.
I’d really like to know how the backroom dealings are going, but I have a feeling we won’t know until we either get the bid or not..that said, any idea if any major business in the area are behind this effort, or at the very least, being reached out to now? Imagine if our bid showed that Intel, Nike, HP or one of the other large businesses around Portland were interested in sponsoring the team..gotta believe that support would be noticed and appreciated…
