In the week a new administration took power in Washington, D.C., amidst much celebration, the political news in Oregon was a big downer. 

Portland Mayor Sam Adams admitted that, despite earlier denials, he had a sexual relationship with a young man about three years ago.

Shock and outrage ensued.  A number of former supporters have called for his resignation.  Adams will make a decision in a few days. 

This morning, our analysis team, Bill Lunch and Robert Eisinger, have joined us in Corvallis and Portland to consider the political implications.
