Oliver Outerbridge

Best 2009 Election Slogan

Not sure how I missed this for my recent election retrospective:

Oliver Outerbridge, the Portland pizza shop owner who ran for Water District Board of Trustees on an anti-fluoridation platform, had a great campaign slogan: "Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground. Elect the nut."

Outerbridge lost by an almost two-to-one margin to his opponent, Kenneth Levinsky.
