Smith and Hales are splitting the vote of more progressives voters. Lets hope brady doesnt get 50% and Hales and her can go at it. Hales is very smart and quick. Putting him next to just her I think he can close the gap and pull it out. Brady would be a bad mistake for PDX. She'll run the city like a suburban strip mall, she is the Portland Business Alliance. Hales is well traveled and educated on the core of city management, jobs, transportation, law. He really could be a great Mayor in the mold of Katz.
