Mainstream

SurveyUSA reports that over 70% of Americans (including 49% of Republicans) think Congress should definitely be investigating Alberto Gonzales.

Nicely mirroring this trend, Loaded Orygun reports that 80% of Oregon's US House delegation (but including 0% Republicans) have co-sponsored the call for the impeachment of Gonzales.

Sad to see that Greg Walden (R- Fishkill) isn't joining his Oregon colleagues, but that's why they call it "being out of the mainstream."

Hats off to LO, by the way--they've been on fire over there lately.

Where are Walden and Hooley?

(Updated below.)

The recent semantic haggling may be an indication that Gordon Smith is experiencing that frozen moment when he realizes what's on the end of every fork (and it isn't frozen vegetables), but both he and the senior Senator from Oregon are on record as opposing Bush's "surge" plan for Iraq.

And thanks to a handy searchable database provided by Think Progress, we can see that, at the other end of the building, Smith and Wyden have been joined in their opposition by Blumenauer, Wu, and DeFazio.

But where are Walden and Hooley?

Think Progress lists their positions as "unknown." Ridenbaugh Press found found little evidence of Walden's position and even less from Hooley.

So, p3 readers from Oregon's 2nd and 5th--what's happening with your representatives?
