Former governors Cecil Andrus, a 77-year-old Democrat, and Phil Batt, an 81-year-old Republican, are fondly remembered for a brand of no-nonsense, consensus-building leadership that many say is lacking in public life today. http://www.gallatinpublicaffairs.com/news/2008/10/6/wheres-todays-cecil-andrus-next-phil-batt-candidates-long-for-style-of-governors-past http://www.gallatinpublicaffairs.com/news/2008/10/6/wheres-todays-cecil-andrus-next-phil-batt-candidates-long-for-style-of-governors-past Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:53:00 CST News jconley@gallatinpublicaffairs.com (Jennifer Conley) Clients Former Portland Mayor Vera Katz is ready to go back to work.

Sarah Palin, recently chosen as Sen. John McCain's running mate, to those who make a living doing such things.
