Yeah, I did that for ten years. It’s all still up at BlueOregon.com. I wrote about a million words over that decade. About 5k readers a day at peak. Couldn’t interest anyone in keeping it going, either to do the work or fund it.
BlueOregon: progressive politics, news, and commentary for Oregon
BlueOregon will be the water cooler around which Oregon progressives will gather. A place for news and original commentary.

5. A BlueOregon 2.0 hasn’t emerged for a few reasons—GOP dysfunction first and foremost. But local media is also more robust than in most states, and they do a really good job reflecting the world as Ds see it. For now, anyway, there’s no call for it.

Has Oregon’s governor made any statements or shared any information regarding what plans there are for our freedoms going into the next administration?

3. Dems needed a counterattack. Rather than a straight media outlet, they also needed a visible place to go, discuss ideas, and get plugged into political campaigns and activities. We called BlueOregon a “water cooler” for progressives, and that’s how it functioned.

There was BlueOregon, which isn't an equivalent to the suggestion, but was a blog that had commentary by a number of notable Oregon Democrats. That has long been dormant, with no replacement, unfortunately.

Enjoyed your first episode! Congrats. FYI, Denver had fare-free off-peak transit in the 1970s; boosting ridership significantly. Also, in the late 1980s NYC knew free transit for residents while charging visitors $2 fares could pencil. But generally agree with you! www.blueoregon.com/2010/09/trea...
