No one expected Noah Lemas to defeat Greg Walden in the race for the 2nd District congressional seat, but most thought he would at least make an effort. He didn't, and Walden has 73 percent of the vote at this point.
Lemas may have come to Medford during the campaign, but we've never talked to anyone who actually saw him.
Walden said he first thought his opponent would be a young woman from Christmas Valley, but it turned out she was actually too young to run for Congress. Walden said that he had visited Christmas Valley for the first time only a few weeks before she announce she was going to run against him.
He must have said something to set her off. But, then, in the 2nd District, there's not danger that any candidate will beat the incumbent Republican. It's even tougher if they're from Christmas Valley or if they make no effort whatsoever.
