Chris Dudley, NBA center to Chris Dudley, governor of Oregon.
It could happen. Tuesday night Dudley won the Oregon Republican primary for governor. Apparently Oregon Republicans like defensive-minded shot blockers -- which somehow seems fitting with a conservative worldview.
The problem Dudley faces is that the majority of Oregonians do not share his worldview -- Oregon is about as blue a state as there is in the nation. The last time Oregon had a Republican governor was 1987 -- when Dudley was still blocking shots at Yale. But at least he’s still in the race.
