ABC came up with a fun campaign-related human interest feature for its 50 States in 50 Days series. Meet Oregon's Mr Ballot, Bill Sizemore. Over the past 14 years, Dan Harris told us, Sizemore has personally filed more than a hundred separate statewide ballot initiatives. He has yet to meet with success: "Sizemore has never had an initiative that was not overturned by the courts or changed by the legislature." This year Sizemore has five separate propositions before the voters. His favorite hobby horses are "things like property rights, lower taxes" he explained--which is how he makes a living: "He gets paid by wealthy conservative donors."
