This is really curious, and thanks to Land Use Watch for catching it. It seems that Oregonians In Action's Dave Hunnicutt understands that Measure 37 has gone too far in the minds of most Oregonians.

"I think the average Oregonian would like to see some sort of compromise, not a repeal - and that's exactly what (Measure) 49 is," Hunnicutt told the Eugene Register Guard.

Did he really mean to say this? Looking past this fairly shocking concession, his quote also suggests that he believes that if the voters actually "get" Measure 49 (most certainly not a repeal) that they'll vote for it. Much like he probably understood that if he was honest about what Measure 37 would do in 2004, Oregonians would never have supported it. The mere fact that Hunnicutt is working so hard to deceive on M49 is a pretty good sign that he knows he stands little chance of winning an honest fight.
